While my examples always used STDIN, that was for brevity. Any code can play tricks on you if you use the Module->sub() OO syntax.

$ perl -MCGI -le 'select(select(CGI)); print CGI->new'
Can't locate object method "new" via package "IO::Handle" at -e line 1
+.

This isn't limited to all-caps names, either:

perl -MFile::Spec -le 'select(select(File::Spec)); print File::Spec->r
+ootdir'
Can't locate object method "rootdir" via package "IO::Handle" at -e li
+ne 1.
