This is basically just idle curiosity, but is there any way that the approaches of either almut's Re^3: symbolic reference + inheritance or merlyn's Re^3: symbolic reference + inheritance can be tortured into passing both the invoking class and method arguments into the method upon invocation? (Both of the invocations after the  no strict 'refs'; statement have the same effect, but as the code stands, only one will actually get a chance to run.) 
>perl -wMstrict -le
"package base;
   sub func {
     print q{in }, __PACKAGE__, qq{ via $_[0] got $_[1]};
     }
 package derived;
   our @ISA = qw(base);
 package main;
   my $pack = 'derived';
   $pack    ->func(42);
   'derived'->func(42);
   my $foo = 'fu';
   $pack->can(qq{${foo}nc})->(42);
   no strict 'refs';
   &{ $pack->${\qq{${foo}nc}} }(42);
   $pack->${\qq{${foo}nc}}->(42);
"
