Some nits I need to pick with your code:

  1. In 
    Package main:

    [download]
    You have a syntax error. Change the ":" to a ";" and you have it made.
  2. Next, to get the effect you are after 
    my $foo = HeckIfIKnow::new(
  -opt1 => '3456',
  -opt2 => '1234'
);

    [download]
    becomes 
    my $foo = new HeckIfIKnow(
  -opt1 => '3456',
  -opt2 => '1234'
);

    [download]
As you have it written $foo looks like the following when printed via Data::Dumper's Dumper method: 
$VAR1 = bless( {
                 '3456' => '-opt2',
                 '1234' => undef
               }, '-opt1' );

[download]
which I don't think you were after. After fixing it my way you get: 
$VAR1 = bless( {
                 '-opt2' => '1234',
                 '-opt1' => '3456'
               }, 'HeckIfIKnow' );

[download]
which looks more like it.
