MUA/MTA quoting seems to be getting in the way here - someone's prepending a '.' to avoid sending the SMTP end-of-message sentinel and it's not getting stripped off properly. That was supposed to be a single '.' in front of the m2(). In other words, unary . is the same as binary . with $_ as the LHS, so .m2() would be the same as $_.m2(). Which would have the semantics in my comment above, assuming that the class becomes the topic in static methods.
