     Sometimes you want to call a method when you don't know the
     method name ahead of time.  You can use the arrow form,
...
         if ($coderef = $fred->can($parent . "::findbest")) {
             $self->$coderef(@args);     # call by coderef
         }

$obj->method(1, 2, 3);         # general case

...
if ($sub = $obj->can('method')) {
    $sub->($obj, 1, 2, 3);     # same effect as general case
}
