Good points from both of you. Thank you very much.

I've gone with this: 

sub action {
   if ( DEBUG ) {
     my $loggerClass= $self->_getLoggerClass();
     my $loggerHandle=  eval($loggerClass ."::getLoggerHandle()");
   }
}
sub _getLoggerClass {
    my     ( $self )= @_;
    my @_isa_parts = split '::' => ref($self );
    return $_isa_parts[0] . '::Debug::Logger';
}

MyApp::Debug::Logger::getLoggerHandle() is a factory method that tosses me a new Logger object from a pool

I kind of like how this works now, and could conceivably consolidat a bit of code with this. So i'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion on how I could call a package function with this, and pass in variables.

i.e., do something like: 

  my $loggerClass= $self->get_loggerClass();
  eval('&'.$loggerClass .'::writeToLoggerHandle($self,$text)');

I don't know if that shows a clear intent or not
