MyApp->method() is a direct reference to the original package, not to an
instance.

my $myapp =3D MyApp->instantiate() would be an instance, if you had such a
method to call.

   use MyApp;
   MyApp->something();

MyApp has been included as a library, so now you can call it appropriately.
There's *no instance* in this case...
