Re^4: Invoking a string reference to a anonymous subroutine

[Superfox il Volpone]

Hi Rolf,

thanks for your reply.

But maybe you should care to define _handler within the scope of your private $_parse... variables to have a proper closure?
I believe you are right. I have come up with the following code:

my $_parse_handler = sub {
  my $self = shift;
  my $function = shift . '0';
  
  # installed handlers
  my $_parse_element_configuration0 = $_parse_element_configuration;
  my $_parse_element_machines0 = $_parse_element_machines;
  
  eval "\$$function";
};

[...]

my $handler = $self->$_parse_handler("_parse_element_" . $element->nam
+e() );
$self->$handler($element);

Anyway I am getting the impression I am trying to bend the language to something it was not designed to do.

Kind regards,
s.fox

Ugh... :-|

Look now this really doesn't make much sense anymore.

I was under the impression that you also need to call the handlers manually as private methods??? (they are now restricted to the sub)

If not _please_ use dispatch tables!
