You may not be able to pass arguments to your methods, since '.' only takes two arguments.

Oh, sure you can. You just have to use a trick:

#!/usr/bin/perl
    
use strict;
no warnings;
 
package UNIVERSAL;

sub AUTOLOAD {
    my $method = $UNIVERSAL::AUTOLOAD;
    $method =~ s/.*:://;   
    return if $method eq "DESTROY";
    [$method => @_];
}
 
 
package DotDotDot;
    
use overload "." => \˙
 
sub new {
    bless [] => shift;
}

sub method {
    my $self = shift;
    print "method: @_\n";
}

sub dot {
    my $self            = shift;
    my ($method, @args) = @{+shift};
    $self -> $method (@args);
}
 
 
package main;
    
my $obj = DotDotDot -> new;
 
$obj . method (1, 2, 3);
    
__END__
method: 1 2 3

You may have to fiddle a bit to get inheritance working properly though.
