maybe this way:

UNIVERSAL is base class for ALL classes in Object Oriented Perl.
UNIVERSAL::isa is method which can tell You if object is blessed in
package or inherits from package.
.
This module overloads UNIVERSAL::isa with a version that makes sure
that, when called as a function on objects which override isa, isa will
call the appropriate method on those objects
.
In all other cases, the real UNIVERSAL::isa gets called directly.
