`Foo::Bar::<$quux>` is basically short for `::Foo::Bar::('$quux')` (except
the former is looked up at compile time)
So the way to do this is:
my $bar = 'Bar';
::Foo::( $bar ~ '::$quux' )
or
::Foo::($bar)::('$quux')
Note that the leading `::` are necessary for dynamic lookups. (Where the
name is in a variable)
