Looks like you may be trying to dispatch to a selected sub by storing the name of the sub in a hash. If you store a reference to the sub instead the intent becomes clearer, to need for the string ref is removed, maintenance becomes easier and the code is better checked for typos. Consider (sample code only - unchecked):

my %request_hash = (
    my $returned_hash_ref = Logic => \&request_logic::nnnnn,
);

#...

if ($request_hash{Logic}) {
    $request_hash{Logic}->($request_hash_ref, $log_file);
} else {
#...
