I want to be able to specify an array of modules to use, and run the same subroutine in each one, like this:

--snip--
my @auth_methods = ('Wireless::Auth::Wisc', 'Wireless::Auth::CAE', 'Wi
+reless::Auth::NIS');
foreach my $auth (@auth_methods) {
  my $rv = $auth::authorize($user, $pass);
  if($rv) { ... }
}

--snip--

Is there a way to do this? I've seen things about using OO to do it, but I've never managed to get that working. The part I'm really worried about is letting the user specify the @auth_methods in a config file so it is easier to choose what authentication methods to use.
