Figured maybe it was possible to use fields, but only got it to work for functions, not methods... Strangely enough the error occurs at line 8.

package BOGUS ;
use fields qw( new ) ;

package TEST ;

my BOGUS $b ;
$b = fields::new("BOGUS") ;
@{$b}{keys %TEST::} = @TEST::{keys %TEST::} ;

sub new {
    my $class = shift ;
    my TEST $self = {} ;
    bless $self, $class ;
    
    print "Runtime!\n" ;
    bloeb() ;
    
    return $self ;
}

package main ;
use strict ;
use warnings ;
sub tst {
    my TEST $x ;
    $x = TEST->new() ;
    $x->blo() ;
}
tst() ;
