I'm unclear on what you would like the syntax look like at the TT level if you
don't want "a redundant prefix". Do you want all of the object's methods
(which isn't clearly defined in Perl) to become individual globals somehow?
Or maybe the objects member variables (which also isn't clearly defined)
to become globals? Or both?
What are you trying to accomplish?
Our solution was simply pass { mine => $obj } as the globals, and
then live with:
[% mine.a_method %]
[% mine.another_method(some, parameters) %]
which maps the method calls back to the object cleanly.
