An "object" is a reference that has been blessed into a class. In a method call, the reference is passed as the first element in @_. So, if $obj is a reference blessed into class "MyClass", then $ret = $obj->Method($arg); MyClass::Method($obj, $arg); are similar in that both result in two items being passed to Class::Method. However, the second call does not do inheritance, while the first does.
