Re:{3} Strict, strings and subroutines

Great.

A pity you don't cache the possibility that it doesn't exist:

BEGIN {
    my %cache;
    sub do_it {
      my $func = shift;
      $cache{$func} = do { 
          local @ISA; __PACKAGE__->can("do_$fun") 
        }
        unless exist $cache{$func};
      $cache{$func}->(@_);
    }
  }

Update: merlyn is right. Fixed that.

[merlyn]

BEGIN { 
    my %cache; 
    sub do_it { 
      my $func = shift; 
      $cache{$func} = do {  
          local @ISA; __PACKAGE__->can("do_$fun")  
        } 
        unless defined $cache{$func}; 
      $cache{$func}->(@_); 
    } 
  }

This does precisely what mine does. Did you mean "exists" there instead of "defined"?
