To avoid or fix the error, don't call your scalars by the same name as a builtin function that you intend to call.
Two alternatives: use the :method attribute on your method. (Class::MakeMethods should probably be doing this for you anyway.) Then non-method calls will call the builtin operator, not the method sub. Or qualify the non-method call with CORE::.
$ perl -we'sub sleep:method { print "in sleep method" } sleep 5; print
+ "done"'
done
$ perl -we'sub sleep { print "in sleep method" } CORE::sleep 5; print
+"done"'
done

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
