I'm working on a vendor package that requires a certain format for callback hooks into a running server - the format is pretty simple: 
$server_object->add_callback("function_name", "comma-separated-param_n
+ames");

I've had to write a separate callback 'wrapper' for each function that I want to be able to call dynamically - but that means I have dozens of functions that look like this: 
sub callback_wrapper {
    my ($callback_id, @params) = @_;

    my ($_err, $callback_data) = actual_function(@params);
    
    calback_reply($callback_id, $_err, $callback_data);
    return $_err;
}

... and that's almost exactly the format for every callback - and I have dozens of those taking up lotsa text space and making what should be an elegant, concise file look incredibly bloated and copy/pasted. Is there anyway to dynamically generate these functions during compile-time so that I can just create an array with the callback/function names listed, then run thru the array to create the callbacks so that they can be loaded by the server during run-time?
