Did you ever hear about shell functions? You may call them subroutines as well... man bash:

Shell Function Definitions
A shell function is an object that is called like a simple command and executes a compound command with a new set of positional
parameters. Shell functions are declared as follows:

name () compound-command [redirection]
function name [()] compound-command [redirection]
This defines a function named name. The reserved word function is optional.
I'm not sure what else you need? Want it spoon fed?
Code:
$ ufct1() { echo $1 double; }
$ ufct2() { echo $1 single; }

Put your processing into those functions.

NAME
CPANPLUS::Shell - base class for CPANPLUS shells SYNOPSIS
use CPANPLUS::Shell; # load the shell indicated by your # config -- defaults to # CPANPLUS::Shell::Default use CPANPLUS::Shell qw[Classic] # load CPANPLUS::Shell::Classic; my $ui = CPANPLUS::Shell->new(); my $name = $ui->which; # Find out what shell you loaded $ui->shell; # run the ui shell DESCRIPTION
This module is the generic loading (and base class) for all "CPANPLUS" shells. Through this module you can load any installed "CPANPLUS" shell. Just about all the functionality is provided by the shell that you have loaded, and not by this class (which merely functions as a generic loading class), so please consult the documentation of your shell of choice.
