As I said, the string overload is used.

use strict;
use warnings;
use feature 'say';

BEGIN {
    package Local::Farm;
    sub new {
        my ( $class ) = ( shift );
        bless {}, $class;
    }
    sub cow_say {
        say "Moo";
    }
    sub sheep_say {
        say "Baa";
    }
    sub horse_say {
        say "Neigh";
    }
};

BEGIN {
    package Local::Random::String;
    use overload q[""] => 'to_string', fallback => 1;
    sub new {
        my ( $class, @options ) = ( shift, @_ );
        bless \@options, $class;
    }
    sub to_string {
        my ( $self ) = ( shift );
        my $ix = rand @$self;
        $self->[$ix];
    }
};

my $object = 'Local::Farm'->new();
my $method = 'Local::Random::String'->new( qw/ cow_say sheep_say / );

$object->$method for 1 .. 10;
