Of course I can; just did.

I.e. it does *correctly* what it's supposed to do. (It's not supposed to
handle e.g. multivalue fields or file uploads.)

Since there already are alternative CGI parsing modules, there is no
need to release another one. If one of them was included in the standard
Perl distro, people might be more inclined to use it. I know I would.

The only thing i can think of at this moment is using tie() on the user
input
such as:
my $input = <INPUT>; # user enters ClassA, ClassB or CLassC
...
tie $input, $input
Any suggestions ??
Thanks

First off, you need to make sure that you are not accepting arbitrary
user input which you then evaluate blindly.
#!/usr/bin/perl
package X;
use strict;
use warnings;
sub whoami { ref shift }
package X::A;
use strict;
use warnings;
use base 'X';
sub new { bless { } => shift }
package X::B;
use strict;
use warnings;
use base 'X';
sub new { bless { } => shift }
package main;
use strict;
use warnings;
my %ok = map { $_ => 1 } qw( A B );
while ( my $class = <STDIN> ) {
chomp $class;
next unless exists $ok{$class};
eval {
print "X::$class"->new->whoami, "\n";
};
warn $@ if $@;
}

Object creation usually happens at run time. Usually, the class an
object will be created in is determined at compile time, being specified
as a bareword. However, the class can also be specified as a simple
variable. So (untested)
my $class_this_time = 'ClassX::' . $user_input;
my $handler = $class_this_time->new( ...);

Correct. The "real" example has a longer name, starting with an

Not really, but here is the X, to give you some background to my
question:
While the file is indeed primarily supposed to be used as a module, I
also
want to invoke it occasionally from the command line (this is a common
technique in, say, Python or Ruby, though I recognize it might not be
so
popular in the Perl community, where people would rather write a
separate
.pl file which uses that module).
When researching for a Perl-feature which would allow me to do this,
I found several solutions, which all worked well. Actually, the one
we are talking about here, works too, only that it exhibits the
warning.
Hence my interest is *really* in how to get rid of this warning - not
so
much because I would need to know this for my particular problem at
hand (the two other ways to use a .pm file as a standalone program
work well too without giving a warning), but because I am a curious
person and am interested in knowing such things.
I know for example how to get rid of a warning when a *variable*
is used only once in a program (use vars qw(...)), but here we have
a file handle, and I would like to find out how to remove the warning
in this case.
Actually, as you pointed out "use warnings" to me, I tried the
following approach:
{
no warnings;
eval ...
}
It's a bit of an overkill (it disables *all* warnings in this block),
but at
least this works.

It also appears that you haven't heard of:
perldoc -f our
which is almost always preferred over "use vars".

If you're going to to that, then why not just use the unencrypted
password in the separate file? Anybody who can read your encrypted
file can easily decrypt it, and anyone who can't read it doesn't care
whether or not the file they can't read is encrypted or in plaintext.

Do you know basic statistics? Statistics::Distribution gives 1 - CDF.
On the other hand, the Excel function allows you to specify whether you
want a single tailed or two tailed p-value.
Syntax
TTEST(array1,array2,tails,type)
I am not very familiar with R, but it is probably the same deal.
