While it's tempting to say this, because the syntax looks identical, it's
not the case. Try substituting a different object where the file object
goes:
my $foo = bless({}, "Foo");
print $foo "test\n";
You'll get an error:
Not a GLOB reference at ...
The print syntax is just a special case.

While this is true for an indirect method call, in this case you just called
the FH() function, then printed the return value.
