Or rather to:
my %table =
(
cat => \&run_cat,
jackalope => \&run_jackalope,
yeti => \&run_yeti,
);
because that is easier to generate.
The module Filter::Simple (and maybe the module Macro, which is on top
of that) seems feasible for this.
I am used to generating code in a separate step, like with cpp or
yacc/lex.
