I have a stupid question - Why on earth do you want to do this? You're just complicating your code for, what seems to me, minimal benefit.

That said, if you want to use procedural calls, invest in looking at Exporter. Learn that magic, then assume that if it's a procedural call, there is no $self. If it's an OO call, there is a bless'ed $self. There is no package-call.

(Package calls are bad, anyways, due to the fact that you're hard-coding stuff. Very NOT-scalable.)

We are the carpenters and bricklayers of the Information Age.

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