With advice from hdp^Wconfound on irc, I went with a method-call
interface where the object is a factory. When you call new() you get
the thing, when you call anything else, you get the subpackage
corresponding to that method name. This removes the one-level
limitation without too much added typing. Sorry if you're have a
new.pm!
my $ybis = YAPI->KewordResearchService->new(...);
It's on the way to the CPAN now.
