in thread syntax error checking on object methods

Not to mention cases where the method name itself is dynamically computed at runtime.

my $method = $phase_of_moon eq 'waxing' ? "discombobulate" : "vreemflitzel"; $obj->$method( $price_of_tea_in_china );

    I'd have missed both cases yes, so it's good I asked and I appreciate your answers. Maybe a full syntax checker on this is too much to desire, but a simple one that takes into account common cases where objects and methods are easily recognizable might not be that hard. In the long run a full syntax checker (if even possible) sounds like a good thing to have to me.
