That's a good one.
It's a wonderful example of indirect object syntax. See
The Bag'o'Tricks.
Use B::Deparse shows what happens:
Update: Rather
perl -MO=Deparse shows what happens:
sub FOO::new {
package FOO;
use strict 'refs';
}
sub FOO::try {
package FOO;
use strict 'refs';
print "Trying...?\n";
}
use strict 'refs';
do {
'FOO'->new
}->try;
As you see, the
do { 'FOO'->new }
gives you the object, which you can happily call a method on ;-)

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).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
