Supplying module names makes answering it easier to give a better answer. Idiomatically, $self usually refers to the scalar being blessed into a class, in other words, an object. So $self->verbose is indeed calling a method on the object using the indirect syntax, though whether or not this method is an instance method or optionally also a class method can't be said with certainty from the one line of code you gave. Please see perldoc perlobj, perldoc perltoot, and perldoc perltootc.
