ok i was so stupid to cut and paste your suggestion in my code.. i speak too generic like in 'does not work'.. maybe my original idea is stupid/unpractical/bogus prone/or worst...

but really no one understand what i'm asking for?
I have changed the dispatch table in this way:
my %cmds = ( a => sub {exec 'perl', '-e', 'print map {qq!\t$_\n!} @ARG
+V', @_},
             b => sub {exec 'perl', '-e', 'print map {qq!\t$_\n!} @ARG
+V', @_},
             b1 => sub {exec 'perl', '-e', 'print map {qq!\t$_\n!} @_'
+, @_},
             b2 => sub {exec 'perl', '-e', 'print qq!@ARGV!', @_},
             c => sub {my $res; foreach (@ARGV) {$res+=$_}; print $res
+;exit 0 },
);
##
# calling with --key a b b1 b2 like in
# dispatch.pl --execute --key a  A B C
# everytime produces:
#
#ole
#--a blank line--

#only the c key runs as expected (to me) but not use exec
#c:\SCRIPTS>dispatch.pl --execute --key c  1 2 3 4 5
#ole
#15
#c:\SCRIPTS>

#key c in a pipeline produces:
#c:\SCRIPTS>echo 1 2 3 | dispatch.pl --execute --key c
#ole
#Use of uninitialized value $res in print at c:\SCRIPTS\code-dispatch.
+pl line 16.

c:\SCRIPTS>
