I'd be interested to see

what kind of speed penalty your dispatching has
what kind of impact it has on caller() and other introspective code

if it correctly handles

sub foo(CGI $cgi) { ... }
sub foo(CGI $cgi, ARRAY $arr) { ... }

A few questions:

Why do you use ref() (or potentially isa() ...) over Scalar::Util's blessed()? I've had serious issues when HTML::Template used isa() to determine ARRAY when I had overloaded stringification on my object. Using blessed() or can() would have solved that problem ...
Is the problem with more than one package in a file your problem or Filter::Simple's problem? If it's F::S's problem, you should state that as a limitation of the engine you're using.
Why don't you allow sub foo(@arr) { ... } instead of sub foo(ARRAY $arr) { ... }? Wouldn't that give me the prototype sub foo(@);, allowing me to rewrite push?

And, finally ... why did you use a source filter yourself instead of using Attributes? I would have thought that Attributes would have provided a tested source filter so you could have focused on your core requirements instead of worrying about the source filter yourself.

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
