Yes, Foo could override the method, then call $self->SUPER::method. (Slight difference, same idea.)

Now, if you're talking about doing some sort of plugin idea ... that's getting really complicated, involving on-the-fly modifications to @ISA, etc. Essentially, what it sounds that you really want to do is create a dispatch table that would have, instead of a coderef, a list of coderefs (or function names) that would be called in that order.

There has to be a better way to do what you want to do.

Period.

Maybe if you started describing what it is you want to design for, we can help.

Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.
