As i see it, not really understanding awk yet, but you're comparing a STRING (a) with an INTEGER (k).
Anyhow, so you pass a list of variables, and when it matches a certain string, you want to call that function?
Must it be awk, because bash works just fine
Code:
#!/bin/bash
my_func_local() {
echo "In func: my_func_local $1"
}
for ARG in "${@}";do
[[ $ARG = a ]] && \
my_func_local $ARG || \
echo $ARG
done
Code:
sh script.sh a b c d
In func: my_func_local a
b
c
d

I'm an experienced awk user, but this one has me stumped. I have an awk script which is called from a UNIX command line as you'd expect:

DESCRIPTION
This module provides various type-testing functions, relating to data types used in the XML::Easy ensemble. These are mainly intended to
be used to enforce validity of data being processed by XML-related functions.
There are two flavours of function in this module. Functions of the first flavour only provide type classification, to allow code to
discriminate between argument types. Functions of the second flavour package up the most common type of type discrimination: checking that
an argument is of an expected type. The functions come in matched pairs.
FUNCTIONS
Each of these functions takes one scalar argument (ARG) to be tested. Any scalar value is acceptable for the argument to be tested. Each
"is_" function returns a simple truth value result, which is true iff ARG is of the type being checked for. Each "check_" function will
return normally if the argument is of the type being checked for, or will "die" if it is not.
is_xml_name(ARG)
check_xml_name(ARG)
Check whether ARG is a plain string satisfying the XML name syntax. (Such names are used to identify element types, attributes,
entities, and other things in XML.)
is_xml_encname(ARG)
check_xml_encname(ARG)
Check whether ARG is a plain string satisfying the XML character encoding name syntax.
is_xml_chardata(ARG)
check_xml_chardata(ARG)
Check whether ARG is a plain string consisting of a sequence of characters that are acceptable to XML. Such a string is valid as data
in an XML element (where it may be intermingled with subelements) or as the value of an element attribute.
is_xml_attributes(ARG)
check_xml_attributes(ARG)
Check whether ARG is a reference to a hash that is well-formed as an XML element attribute set. To be well-formed, each key in the
hash must be an XML name string, and each value must be an XML character data string.
is_xml_content_object(ARG)
check_xml_content_object(ARG)
Check whether ARG is a reference to an XML::Easy::Content object, and thus represents a chunk of XML content.
is_xml_content_twine(ARG)
check_xml_content_twine(ARG)
Check whether ARG is a reference to a twine array (see "Twine" in XML::Easy::NodeBasics), and thus represents a chunk of XML content.
is_xml_content_array(ARG)
Deprecated alias for "is_xml_content_twine".
is_xml_content(ARG)
check_xml_content(ARG)
Check whether ARG is a reference to either an XML::Easy::Content object or a twine array (see "Twine" in XML::Easy::NodeBasics), and
thus represents a chunk of XML content.
is_xml_element(ARG)
check_xml_element(ARG)
Check whether ARG is a reference to an XML::Easy::Element object, and thus represents an XML element.
