in reply to calling methods using array variables

But, i think you did not get my problem here.

actual function call is like this,
@jobIds = $jobs->get_jobIds($ARGV[0]);

which is actually a object reference, from which calling a function with arguments passed.

I have this function name and arguments in an array now. so the function what i need would be like this, if right.

@jobIds = $jobs->$args_input[2]($args_input[3]);

But this is not right. How would I achieve this for a object reference.

Thanks

    Oh. Ok, so your problem is in calling a method.

    Then the solution is get the name of the method into a scalar variable before trying to call it.

    #!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

package Foo;

sub new {
  bless {}, shift;
}

sub test {
  print "pass\n";
}

package main;

my @subs = ('test');

my $foo = Foo->new;

my $method = $subs[0];
$foo->$method;

      my $method = $subs[0];
$foo->$method;

      Or, if you're in the mood for obfuscation: 

      $foo->${ \$subs[0] };
