Perhaps you should change your POV. The correct terminus technicus for the $.foo twigil variables is 'call the method' which nicely embeds attribute access into dispatch and makes base methods future proof with respect to deriving classes. Your 100% rw observation then to me indicates that OO is more about data sharing than method dispatch. Note that rw accessors are particularly difficult to handle in typesafe mode.
