You can make a call with variable name:

 $fname = "do_this_and_that";
 $retval = $fname ( $args );

I don't think there will be pointers,
the language has so far been able to avoid them
(which is a good think for a scripting language, IMHO).

And I'm not sure if this variable name
trick works with object method calls.
Anyway, if all else fails, there's eval()  :-)
