We use this EXTENSIVELY in some major enterprise servers we have written in perl. As long as you trap your exceptions (when the function does not exist in the class, this results far cleaner code, than a long if elsif elsif elsif block, that in the end requires you to type the same name in the if statement, and in the execution statement. This allows perl to do all that for you.

I know that in Perl OO the name of a method can be a variable. Which end up with code like this: my $obj= new MyClass; #here the thing $obj->$method(); $method var holding the name of my method. I would like to know if such feature exists in other OO languages like Java etc ... Besides, is such way of programming an indication of a bad "Class Design" ? Thanks in advance.
