Can you give us a more specific example of what you are trying to do? The closest thing that I can think of, from what you're describing, is to use AUTOLOAD to autogenerate a subroutine and install it in the symbol table to avoid the repeated expense of regenerating the code. I have an example of that here.

If what you're trying to do is use a closure, merlyn has an article on closures that you may wish to read.
