Is this a scalar or a call to a class method with no paramaters? Let's sift through the code to find out, oh joy!

It is and can _only_ be a method call. If it were anything (or rather the only other thing that I can think that you could mean) else it would be written as 

my $snafu=$foo->{bar};

The placement of the subs at the top of a package does _not_ prevent you from using the parens style, whereas placing at the bottom _does_ prevent you from using the bareword style. Whereas the placment of subs has an indirect effect on error rates. Thus there is still no reason not to employ best practice.
