Perl has no idea it's suppose to call test as a method.

The only difference between a function and a method is how the sub is called, or rather, how it expects to be called. 

test()           # function
Module::test()   # function
$obj->test()     # virtual instance method
$class->test()   # static method

Non-virtual instance methods can be approximated using 

test($obj)         # From within the object that defines test().
  -or-
Class::test($obj)  # From anywhere.

I say "approximate", since it's doesn't check inheritance.

And there's also this syntax: 

$obj->Class::test()
$class->Class::test()
$obj->SUPER::test()
$class->SUPER::test()

In this case, all of the following work: 

sub eg { $_[0]->test($_[1]); }
sub eg { One::test(@_); }
sub eg { Two->test($_[1]); }
sub eg { One->test($_[1]); }

Only the first really makes sense, though. And maybe the second one if you don't want test to be overridden by a child class of Two.
