[XOT] doesn't it supported?

(XOT: eXtremely OT)

perl complains about variable method calls ($obj->$meth) when I move from 
5.6.0 back to 5.00503, it says  syntax error near "$meth".

i think this is supported at the very beginning. did i missed sth?

Yes.

$obj->$meth();

There were parser fixes that allowed the former syntax in 5.6, but if you
want it to work in 5.005 then you need the brackets.
