Sincere apologies. I got confused. ^_^;;
The syntax Class->$bink(@args) does in fact work fine! I was getting confused,
as the routine I was calling (something that was processing a text var passed),
was returning the name of the package. eg; "Class".

Because, of course, using the -> syntax, the first argument actually passwd is
the Object/Module, and the SECOND param is the first param passed. The
subroutine wasn't originally to be called externally, and as such wasn't
expecting that first parameter.

I'm now rewriting the couple of routines to support obj->func format calls.

Still, I'd be curious if there's a way of doing Class::$bink(@args) which
doesn't pass the obj/module...
