I'm stupid.
I'm trying to dynamically construct a call to an autoloaded function of a class. The class isn't in my control. I can't come up with the right syntax for the line below the comment in the supplied non-functional example. It looks like it does because I have been flailing.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
my %vars = ( 'user_login' => { req => 1 },
'user_passwd' => { req => 1 },
'user_display' => { req => 0 },
);
my $f = Foo->new();
while ( (my ($key,$atr)) = (each %vars))
{
print "$key, $atr\n";
# eg, trying to construct and call autoloaded
# $f->prefix_user_login method.
&$f->"prefix_$key"( $atr);
}
package Foo;
sub new { return bless( { }, shift); }
sub AUTOLOAD {
use vars '$AUTOLOAD';
print "autoloaded method: $AUTOLOAD \n";
}
sub DESTROY {}
I genuflect.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
