Oops, somehow my proposal could be misunderstood, so: I did not propose to change the return value of can(). Nor the parameters. Only the logic of also looking in UNIVERSAL after the normal @ISA search has failed. On a freshly installed Perl 5.12.0 (without "use UNIVERSAL") the only difference to Perl 5.8.0 would be that isa($x, 'can'), isa($x, 'isa') and isa($x, 'VERSION') would return undef for every $x ne 'UNIVERSAL'.
