  • That is a warning message generated by Test::MockObject (chromatic) about DateTime::Locale because when things fail weirdly, chromatic was sick of receiving bogus error reports and complaints about Test::MockObject when it was really the fault of the person using UNIVERSAL::can/isa as a function (which they shouldn't be).

    DateTime::Locale needs to call stuff as a method, not a function.
    • Err, take a look at that line:

      unless ( $real_class->can('new') )
      What exactly is wrong with that?
      • A shot in the dark, but is $real_class loaded when you make that call?

        Compare:

        $ foo->isa('UNIVERSAL') and print "yes\n"
        <nothing>

        to

        $ package foo;
        $ foo->isa('UNIVERSAL') and print "yes\n"
        yes

        I think U::can might get upset in this case... but who knows.

        Another possibility... didn't that line use can as a function in an older version of the module?  I can't get the warning to happen with the latest DateTime::Locale, but I could about a year ago.
