What about a pragma to always start a method with

my ($self, $arg1,...) = @_;

???

Why did you think that $self is automatically provided?

Closures are an essential part of Perl's strength, unlikely anybody will help to cripple the language.

You might either consider changing to another OO frmework or using snippets in your IDE (like yasnippet in emacs) to facilitate writing methods.

They are a powerful feature sure. A *pragma* (or cpan module) which allows people to declare their intent more clearly doesn't change the default behaviour for people who don't use it.

The same argument applies to other pragmas (strict/warnings etc).
