Consider the following:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
my $s = new speak();
foreach my $critter(qw/ cat dog spider /){
$s->$critter();
}
exit(0);
package speak;
sub new {
bless {},"speak";
}
sub cat {
print "meow!\n";
}
sub dog {
print "woof!\n";
}
sub spider {
print "arf!\n";
}
1;
which may give you some enlightenment that you seek.
When run it yields:
$ ./doit.pl
meow!
woof!
arf!
Hope this is of some help.

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).
