in reply to $foo = "Foo::Bar"; $foo->new() works?

From perlobj:

Instead of a class name or an object reference, you can also use any expression that returns either of those on the left side of the arrow.

So the following statement is valid: 

    Critter->find("Fred")->display("Height", "Weight");

and so is the following: 
    my $fred = (reverse "rettirC")->find(reverse "derF");
