The proper way (Score:1)

$method = \&Object::method;

Hardcoding considered suboptimal (for a range of reasons). You want this:

$method = $object->can( 'method' );

You have to remember to pass a reference to $object in either case, though. No getting around that in Perl.

Therefore you would normally use a closure as per Dominic’s suggestion.
