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.
