This is my call

  my (@fw, @vrf, @vlan, @portchannel);
  @fw = &collectData('fw', $CFG{$CFG{FW}});
  @vrf = &collectData('vrf', $CFG{$CFG{VRF}});
  @vlan = &collectData('vlan', $CFG{$CFG{VLAN}});
  @portchannel = &collectData('portchannel', $CFG{$CFG{PORTCHANNEL}});

and this is the sub 

sub collectData {
  my $str = shift;
  my $type = shift;
  my @array;
  my $content = &slurpFile($type);
  if ($CFG{READFILE} eq $CFG{ERROR}){ 
    print $CFG{ERROR_OPEN} = s/--file--/$type/ ,"\n";
    return;
  }
  $str =~ /^fw/          ? { @array = NT::FW->extract($content, %CFG) 
+}          :
  $str =~ /^vrf/         ? { @array = NT::VRF->extract($content, %CFG)
+ }         :
  $str =~ /^vlan/        ? { @array = NT::VLAN->extract($content, %CFG
+) }        :
  $str =~ /^portchannel/ ? { @array = NT::PORTCHANNEL->extract($conten
+t, %CFG) } :
          return;
return @array;
}

How can I do this with less lines of code?
