More solutions, cool :-)

I see that lanX's answer is the "good" clean answer, but i don't like it as a stand-alone answer, as the code then looks ugly (i forgot to say it's a method, not a function) : 

$S{light}->($self, 10);

[download]
instead of 
$self->light(10)

[download]
(I used %S instead of %mysubs. And i use Moose, so i need to pass $self as an argument).

So, what i did was to use AUTOLOAD, to call these subroutines : 

sub AUTOLOAD {
    my $self = shift;
    my @args = @_;

    # Retrieve the method name, without the Package name
    my $name = our $AUTOLOAD;
    $name    =~ s/.*://;

    # Check if this is one of the functions we declared
    croak "Undefined method : $name" 
        if !$S{$name};

    # Call the appropriate method
    return $S{$name}->($self, @args);
}

[download]
which enables me to call 
$obj->light(10);

Now, the question is : is that clean, and are there "cleaner" (and why) solutions.

I must say i'm not in love with the 'eval' solution ( but it works :-) ).

Would it be cleaner to do 

foreach my $name (@names) { 
    my $name = $S{$name};
}

But then i will also need to put $self as an argument all the time.

What about installing them in the import table : is it cleaner than using AUTOLOAD ?
