Use tied to get to the actual object that implements the behaviour of $var: 
tied($var)->print_method;

    To elaborate on this, what tie accomplishes is to make Perl pretend that a reference object is something else. That is, it acts here as if $var is a simple scalar, not a reference object. (It's probably easier to see that this must be the case when tieing an array or a hash.)
