in reply to Re^5: goto superclass method
in thread goto superclass method
My thinking is that if a superclass has overriden can(), then they have good reason to, so in a situation where you know you have a blessed ref or a package name, you should prefer calling it as a method. I only use UNIVERSAL::can directly when I'm unsure about that.
