in thread elsif chain vs. dispatch

The slow bit is the function call, not the hash lookup which you'd also have to do with the symtab anyway. With a hash, you have better control over what inputs are allowed and how they are dispatched.

With symtab:

my $handler = do { no strict 'refs'; \&{"handle_fieldcode_$code"} }; ...handle expections somehow?... die if !$handler; $handler->(@args);

With hash;

my $handler = $lookup{$code}; die if !$handler; $handler->(@args);

with a one-time setup of

my %lookup = map { no warnings 'refs'; $_ => \&{"handle_fieldcode_$_"} } 'A'..'Z'; ...modify %lookup for expections...
