Note that my ($self,$x) = shift; is not correct, it should be my ($self,$x) = @_; instead (several times in your code).

While it is possible to do what you want (Method Names as Strings), it seems like it might not be a good idea, and instead be the beginning of a bad design pattern - if you could explain why you think you need this and what you want to accomplish, perhaps we can suggest a better approach.

use warnings;
use strict;
{
    package A;
    sub new { bless {}, shift }
    sub _exe {
        my $self = shift;
        my $meth = shift;
        $self->$meth(@_);
    }
}
{
    package B;
    use base 'A';
    sub new { bless {}, shift }
    sub _what {
        my $self = shift;
        $self->_exe('_print', @_);
    }
    sub _print {
        my ($self, @args) = @_;
        print @args, "\n";
    }
}
my $b = B->new;
$b->_what("foo","bar");  # prints "foobar"
