...Prints the variable $data in package "proto".

Bummer... Of course ! shame on me... So there isn't any way around ? What do you think of this :

Child.pm : 
use strict;
use warnings;

package Child;

use Data::Dumper ;

use base 'Parent' ;

 sub data  { return { one => 1, two => 2 } };

1;

Then Parent.pm: 
use strict;
use warnings;

package Parent;

use Data::Dumper ;

sub new {
    my $proto = shift ;
    return bless {}, $proto
}


sub show {
    my $self = shift ;
    
    my $proto = ref $self ;
    
    print $proto->data();
    
    print Dumper $proto->data() 
}


1;

The script code remains of course unchanged. Unless I... May it be possible to get it working the way I meant by using tie ?
