I probably misundertand what you are trying to acheive, but it seems to
work pretty straightforwardly :

use Qt;

package Darth;
use Qt::isa qw/ Qt::Widget /;

sub NEW {
        shift->SUPER::NEW(@_[0..2]);
        this->connect( this, SIGNAL("useTheForce()"), SLOT( "feelTheForce()") );
}

sub useTheForce : SIGNAL();

sub feelTheForce : SLOT() {
        print this." feels a disturbance in the Force\n";
}

package Padawan;
use Qt::isa qw/ Darth /;

sub NEW {
        shift->SUPER::NEW(@_[0..2]);

        this->connect( this, SIGNAL( 'useTheForce()' ), SLOT('react()') );
}

sub react : SLOT() {
        print "It felt like a million toes wiggling\n";
}

package main;
use Qt;
use Darth;
use Padawan;
my $a = Qt::Application;

my $vader = Darth;
emit( $vader->useTheForce() );

my $luke = Padawan;
emit( $luke->useTheForce() );

exit $a->exec;
