in thread $var as accessor name?

That's not strictly true, though it is messy. 

{
    package test;
    sub new{ return bless [], $_[0]; }
    sub meth1{
       print 'meth1';
    }
};

$t=test->new;
$t->meth1;
meth1

$h{x}='meth1';

$t->${ \$h{x} };
meth1

    Shhh...the newbies are listening.

    More seriously, I very occasionally do that to interpolate an expression in a qq string where that makes the code clearer, but even if I did a lot more OO than I do, I don't think I'd ever do it for method names. It's so much clearer to use a temporary scalar. But I guess it depends on what you are used to seeing.
