    That's how the code was originally written. Switching from code references to strings makes this all go away. It's such a force of habit for me to use code refs that I feel really, really stupid about now :)

      That makes sense. Using a coderef ends up being like Ben's original idea: when you do $bool = \&Foo::Bar::bool and then $obj->$bool() you get the same thing as $obj->Foo::Bar::bool() instead of $obj->bool().
