I fail to see any actual prohibition in that section, at least, not on class methods. To be honest, most of what's said in that section doesn't even belong in there. The only warning I actually spot against it there, is on that "parens around all parameters" thing: 
  new Critter ('Bam' x 2), 1.4, 45

However, that's precisely the same problem you get when you do 
print ('Bam' x 2), 1.4, 45;

[download]
so that's nothing new.

OTOH, the one problem I did notice with this "indirect object method", is that it doesn't work with perl's built-in keywords — and likely other predefined subs as well, so the next doesn't call the method "open" in the class "ReadFile": 

my $handle = open ReadFile($file);

[download]
Instead, you have to use 
my $handle = ReadFile->open($file);

I guess that falls under "the same ambiguity as ordinary list operators", in perlobj.
