Since we're all feeling dirty, you could also do what you
want by temporarily faking the symbol table out so there is,
for an instant, no child class method. Playing with Perl
symbol tables will put hair on your chest, but you may also
go blind.

package Super;
sub new
{
return bless {}, shift;
}

{
print "In Parent dostuff -- caller: ", join('|', caller()), "\n";
}

our @ISA = qw(Super);

{
my $self = @_[0];
print "In Child dostuff -- caller: ", join('|', caller()), "\n";
local *SAVE = *Child::dostuff;
undef *Child::dostuff;
my $method = $self->SUPER::can('dostuff');
*Child::dostuff = *SAVE;
goto(&$method);

my $x = Child->new();
$x->dostuff();
