Or if you're using strict (strict 'refs' specifically), you could make
sure that at least one of the classes is capable of acting as an object
factory.
my $factory = new MyTopDir::MySubDir::MySubSubDir::MyObject;
# then when you want a new MyObject
my $newobj = $factory->new;
You are using strict, aren't you?
