Two questions:

First, the easy one... In the following, what looks better to you for subroutine names?

our @EXPORT = qw(linux_add_account sun_add_account hp_add_account aix_add_account);
OR
our @EXPORT = qw(LINUXAddAccount SUNAddAccount HPAddAccount AIXAddAccount);

Question 2:
I have subroutines (see above) that have OS type in them. I use another subroutine to get os type ( my $foo=get_os_type($server); ), and then I call the subroutine (at this point) like so &$varAddAccount. I cannot use strict subs and do this, but that is not an option here. I want to use strict, but do not know how to call the subroutine based on what is in var, without having a bunch of if statements all over the place (or switch). Any ideas? I call many different subroutines based on os type, all over the place (e.g., SUNAddUser, SUNDelUser, SUNGetStatus...).
