All the above suggestions are fine, but if you want this really to be a feature of your objects, then you could add method currying features to a base class pretty easily ... 

package Curryable;

sub curry { 
    my ($self, $method_name, @args) = @_;
    my $method = $self->can($method_name) || die "No $method_name meth
+od found";
    return sub { $self->$method(@args, @_) };
}

Then have your MIS_PrintStatus class inherit from Curryable and then all you need to do is this ... 
my $handler = MIS_SAX_Parser->new($cb->curry('printit'));

And it will make sure to wrap up the method correctly for you. If you need some additional flexibility, you could also define a "right curry" method as well, which can come in quite handy. Note the reversal of the @args and @_ from the original curry. 
sub rcurry { 
    my ($self, $method_name, @args) = @_;
    my $method = $self->can($method_name) || die "No $method_name meth
+od found";
    return sub { $self->$method(@_, @args) };
}
