forwards the @_ arguments. (Try sub f { say while $_ = shift; warn "Called\n" } %d = (1 => \&f); sub g { &{$d{1}} }; g(1, 2).) If you want to avoid that, use -> for dereference:
$dispatchTable{$fname}->();

    Although I do prefer the arrow notation, the minimal change solution is actually 

    &{$dispatchTable{$fname}}()
