Indirect method calls gets you pretty close: 

$ perl -E'
   sub IO::Handle::myprint { say "..."; }
   sub myprint { myprint STDOUT @_ }

   myprint STDOUT "foo";
   myprint "foo";

   eval q{ myprint(STDOUT "foo");      1 } or warn $@;
   eval q{ myprint(\*STDOUT "foo");    1 } or warn $@;
   eval q{ myprint { STDOUT } "foo";   1 } or warn $@;
   eval q{ myprint { \*STDOUT } "foo"; 1 } or warn $@;
'
