Second, what do you mean 'detect it'?
Well... To be able to display a warning (or die) like: "Deep recursion on method foo ... " after a certain count. If that makes sense? It was just a thought :) actually re-designing the code like this solves this issue (yes, I've stopped doing it): 
package NewBase;
use strict;

sub new {
   my $class = shift;
   my $self  = {};
   bless $self, $class;
   $self;
}

# other methods

package BaseClass;
use strict;
use base qw(NewBase);

sub bar {
   return Foo->new;
}

package Foo;
use strict;
use base qw(NewBase);

However, the situation about this method chaining seemed interesting to me and I opened a discussion about it.
