FWIW: In both versions 5.004_02 and 5.004_04 (from different builds) that I have: `$obj->method;` (no arguments) and `$obj->method(@args);` (with arguments) both work; no non-parenthesized invocation with arguments (of those I have tried) works.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`my $method = "foo"; $obj->$method; $obj->$method @args;` [download] On both 5.004_02 and 5.004_04: `$obj->$method;` and `$obj->$method @args;` both fail to compile; `$obj->$method();` and `$obj->$method(@args);` both compile and execute as expected.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
