    In my current project I'm using -> notation to do the same sort of thing:
    package Foo;
    sub Foo::Bar { require Foo::Bar; 'Foo::Bar' }
     
    package Whatever;
    use Foo;
    my $bar = Foo->Bar->new;
    I just hand-code the Bar method, but then I don't need multi-level stuff like my $qux = Foo->Bar->Baz->Qux->new, which would be relatively easy with AUTOLOAD.

    What's not a coincidence is the (not very obvious) similarity here to Self [sun.com] and its "paths to objects" idiom/dogma.
