package X; our $PREF; sub new { bless {}, $PREF; } package A; sub foo { print __PACKAGE__; } package B; sub foo { print __PACKAGE__; } package main; $X::PREF = 'B'; my $o = X->new; $o->foo;

Prints:

B

You can change $X::PREF = line to 'A' and it will print A.

    I see. I update with this style in my next release, glad I didn't add to many more features now.
