[MacPerl-AnyPerl] substituting variables into objects

[Adam Witney <witneya@nmripo.nmri.nnmc.navy.mil>]

Hello,

I want to be able to generate forms automatically (using CGI.pm), by having
the settings for several forms in one file and a script that reads these
settings and generates the appropriate form,

basically instead of using this.....

use CGI;
$cgi = new CGI;

.
.
.

print $cgi->textfield(-name=>'fieldname',
                      -default=>'default text',
                      -size=>15,
                      -maxlength=>15);

i want to be able to use something like this....

my $field = 'textfield';
my $options = q{'fieldname','default text',15,15};

print $cgi->$field($options);

this doesn't work....puts the whole contents of the $options into the name
field of the textfield

anyone have any ideas how i could do this?

thanks

adam
