This prevents SomeBareword from being looked up as a filehandle:
no feature "bareword_filehandles";
SomeBareword->method();
Since "bareword_filehandles" is explicitly about bareword handles, it does not prevent other string to object/class look ups from resolving the class as a filehandle, eg for the following:
"SomeLiteral"->method();
my $x = "SomeVariable";
$x->method();
both are looked up as file handles per normal.
Note that in any of these cases, with or without the bareword_filehandles feature, if the name is a bareword that has been resolved as a class name since the last time the stash cache was cleared, it will be resolved as a class name, not a filehandle.
Fixes #19426
