The equivalent of
$invocant->$method_name( @args )
is
($module.'::'.$function_name)->( @args ) # Perl 5.6+
or
&{ $module.'::'.$function_name }( @args )

use strict qw( refs ); forbids these (as it should), so you can use the following:

my $ref = do { no strict qw( refs ); \&{ $module.'::'.$function_name } }; $ref->( @args )

Except it turns out that \&{...} is exempt from strict reference enforcement, so you can simply use

my $ref = \&{ $module.'::'.$function_name }; $ref->( @args )

or even

( \&{ $module.'::'.$function_name } )->( @args )

This trick to bypass strict reference enforcement is not documented.
