True but irrelevant.   If you're worried about the cost of "use UNIVERSAL;"
the correct action is to cross it out, as UNIVERSAL.pm recommends:

     These subroutines should not be imported via
     "use UNIVERSAL qw(...)".  If you want simple local access to
     them you can do

       *isa = \&UNIVERSAL::isa;

     to import isa into your package.
