Thanks for that knowledge bit.

In my particular case this trick will not mess a program, because I use it inside AUTOLOAD so coderefs should not pass through.

But...let's see, you can call 

$Tcl::Tk::Widget::AUTOLOAD=sub{print 'tricky hacky sub'};
Tcl::Tk::Widget::AUTOLOAD($object)

Accidentally, it still not pass through as in that AUTOLOAD I see: 
    my $method = $Tcl::Tk::Widget::AUTOLOAD;
    # Separate method to autoload from (sub)package
    $method =~ s/^(Tcl::Tk::Widget::((MainWindow|$ptk_w_names)::)?)//
    or die "weird inheritance ($method)";

But I get your point: I should closer revise that module for similar things.

Also, in my case, in Tcl::Tk module AUTOLOAD is used to redirect a method to Tcl/Tk system, so it is not OO trick but rather some kind of redirecting methods to Tcl/Tk.

PS. I was talking about Tcl::Tk as I do not have anything other resembling OO
