in thread $obj->method v.s. $obj->method()

IIRC it's $obj->$method that wouldn't work in 5.4 (and 5.6?) while $obj->$method() would.

    You're possibly right :)

      FWIW: In both versions 5.004_02 and 5.004_04 (from different builds) that I have:
      • $obj->method; (no arguments) and  $obj->method(@args); (with arguments) both work;
      • no non-parenthesized invocation with arguments (of those I have tried) works.

        can you also try this: 
        my $method = "foo";
$obj->$method;
$obj->$method @args;
