I fear we're treading a little too close to classes being the "new
filehandles"--relatively limited entities with no sigils that confuse
the syntax horribly. There's already at least one ambiguous case:
module Foo::Bar::Baz {}
module Foo::Bar { sub Baz {} }
my $var = Foo::Bar::Baz; #module name or function call?
Which seems strangely reminiscent to:
sub foo {}
open foo, ">foo";
print foo $x; #filehandle or function call?
