No. I could agree that

	CGI->somemethod(@args);

would do exactly the same as

	CGI::somemethod(@args);

i.e. no difference between function calls and class methods, unless the
method explicitely wants to know.

Why make module authors' life even more miserable?

Passing the class/object in a magic variable, e.g. $SELF, instead of in
the arguments list, is one way.
