Subject: UNIVERSALL::isa is not reentrant
UNIVERSAL::isa uses a global recursive flag. If a custom ->isa method itself calls UNIVERSAL::isa anywhere recursively within the ->isa method, this flag is falsely true. This results in the intended effect (magically chaning a UNIVERSAL::can into a ->can, which I think is wrong anyway, but lets not deal with THAT in this bug) not happening.

Just noting that if you leave this bug marked as stalled, I think I know how to reproduce it, and I'll get to it when I find a timeslice. Adam K 2009/6/13 CHROMATIC via RT <bug-UNIVERSAL-can@rt.cpan.org>: Show quoted text
