What does `new $cur->{LINK}' do? (Assume the current package has no new() function of its own.)

$cur->new()->{LINK}
The indirect object syntax only has a single token
lookahead. That means if new() is a method, it only
grabs the very next token, not the entire following
expression.
This is why `new $obj[23] arg' does't work, as well as
why `print $fh[23] "stuff\n"' does't work.
Mixing notations between the OO and IO notations is perilous. If you always use
arrow syntax for method calls, and nothing else, you'll
not be surprised.
