Hi, I need to create a program, configure its behavior and than save its state into a database. To do that, I have a library (.pm) with some functions, and I want to save into the database the name of the functions that shall be called when I run my program the next time.
Can I save the name of the functions into the database and then, (on load) call the correspondent function using its name?

For example:
Considering that I have the following librabry (FunctionsSet.pm):
(...)
@EXPORT = qw( funtion1 function2 function3 funtion4)
(...)
and that I read from D.B. fhis two strings: 'funtion1' and 'funtion4', how can I execute function1 and function4 from FunctionsSet.pm?

Thanks in advance

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
