I searched CPAN for Perl6 and did not find any modules that offer that ability yet. You could do something like:
use strict; my $code = do {local $/;<DATA>}; $code =~ s/(\w)\.(\w)/$1->$2/g; $code =~ s/(?<!\w)_(?!\w)/./g; eval $code; die $@ if $@; __DATA__ my $foo = Foo.new(); $foo.foo('foo'); $foo.bar('bar'); $foo.baz('baz'); print $foo.foo _ "\n" _ $foo.bar _ "\n" _ $foo.baz _ "\n"; package Foo; use Class::MethodMaker new => 'new', get_set => [ qw /foo bar baz / ];
but not only is that twisted (and silly), there is more than likely some usage of . and _ that i missed with the regexes. Best to just stick with the arrow notation - it is only one more character to type, after all ... that or start using Python ... /duck

UPDATE: belg4mit++ for suggesting Filter::Simple - i missed that one ...
