Re: Technique for building arguments from function name?

[Anonymous Monk]

Corion's suggestion provides a function_* for every *. This one only creates the ones you list. Whatever works for you.

for my $x (qw( cat dog fish )) {
   no strict 'refs';
   *{"function_$x"} = sub { print $x };
}
function_cat();      # print "cat"
function_banana();   # error

Ah, nifty and easy. That could be just what I need. Thanks!
