I guess he meant one could change the method name (and every invocation of said method) to something hard to read and without reference to what the method actually does. For instance, change

sub average {
...
}
...
print average( ... )
[download]

to

sub xyyxwx {
...
}
...
print xyyxwx( ... )
[download]

Of course this would be only one of several tricks (and not a particularly successful one) in a code obfuscator.
