Re^2: calling functions using array variables

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;
