Very cool, Tom (I learned something!).

Here is another alternative: 

foreach my $MySubName (@list) {
   ## &{\&$MySubName}($MySubName);    # This works!
   ##  $::{$MySubName}($MySubName);   # This (tmoertel)  is better.
   no strict qw(refs);
       &{*$MySubName}($MySubName);    # Use GLOB - Also cool!

   #Chromatic's OO way --
   #can(METHOD)
    #  can checks to see if its object has a method called METHOD, 
    #   if it does then a reference to the sub is returned, i
    #   if it does not then undef is returned.
    
    #  main->can($MySubName)->($MySubName);


}
