Then, after digesting all of the information, you guys gave me and taking a closer look, I've had a revelation that { @_ } is nothing other then a regular anonymous hash reference of @_ array being converted to hash ref by {} braces and a $class is a reference to Self object.

No, not quite. See "Method Invocation" in perlobj. For class methods, the first argument for a method is the class (just its name); for objects, it is the object. Not a reference - just like that. For class methods, the class name is a literal, and the object is a reference already. The arrow operator "->" makes the passing of the first parameter implicit, so the next two are equivalent: 

$obj = MyClass->new( %params);
$obj = MyClass::new( 'MyClass', %params);

Can I still access them by (I didn't test it yet, still trying to digest everything)?:

Yes, since an object is just a reference blessed into a Namespace. Otherwise, it behaves just like any reference. Again, read perlobj and related material. 

   qtyTotal=>sub{return &qtyTotal('phrase 1', @_);}

I realize, that this is an inefficient solution, but this is the solution that allows using pseudo methods without an actual objects.

The use of the ampersand "&" as a sigil to suroutine calls makes passing @_ implicit, but only if the call has an empty parameter list. Consider: 
$\ = $/; # see perlvar
sub b { print join" ",@_ }
sub e { &b }          # @_ passed implicitly
sub f { &b( "got") }  # parens necessary!
sub g { b "got", @_ } # parens may be omitted, if sub b
                      # has been seen earlier
@l = (1...3);
e @l;
f @l;
g @l;
__END__
1 2 3
got
got 1 2 3

So, use "&" only if you mean to pass @_ (and only @_) implicitly.

And it's not ineffective, I'd say, but neither is it "pseudo-methods" - that is calling anonymous subroutines. A pseudo method (call) would be something like the following:

sub b { print join" ", @_ } 
"b"->(1..3)
