Interestingly (for some definition of "interesting"), this also works and seems exactly equivalent (update: and reduces worries about phasing of BEGIN blocks, use statements and sub definitions, etc.):

c:\@Work\Perl\monks\Thenothing>perl -le "use warnings; use strict; ;; use Mypackage; ;; print Mypackage::test2(); ;; print test(); " hiya @ Wed Apr 11 12:35:25 2018 hiya @ Wed Apr 11 12:35:25 2018
File Mypackage.pm:
package Mypackage; use warnings; use strict; sub main::test { return 'hiya @ ' . localtime; } sub test2 { ::test(); } 1;
