Re^2: What I Most Recently Learned in Perl, But Should Have Already Known

Continuing the if-else statements problem, the idiom I like most is:

my $function = 'a';
my %functions = (
    'a' => sub { ... },
    'b' => sub { ... },
);
$functions{$function}->();

It's amazing how this replace an entire switch or if-else statements.
