You've got a start. It looks as if the piece you're missing is the
coderef: a reference to a chunk of code. You should be able to do what
you want by using references to anonymous subroutines, maybe something
like this:
my $coderef = sub { my($pet) = shift; return $pet eq "dog" };
You can read about anonymous subroutines in the perlref manpage.

Hope this helps!
