I'd probably work that out as a dispatch table instead:
my %STATES = (
sent => sub { . . . },
pending => sub { . . . },
waiting => sub { . . . },
procrastinating => sub { . . . },
delayed => sub { . . . },
);
# Make 'pending' and 'waiting' the same thing
$STATES{pending} = $STATES{waiting};
# Later
$STATES{$status->state->name}->();
It's faster than a speeding regex. And I personally think dispatch tables are sexy.

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.
