It is not valid to use UNIVERSAL::isa in this way: 1. isa is only a (object or class) method, not a function - it must have an invocant 2. isa should only properly be used for class names or blessed objects, not for base types -- to check the base type of a reference, use Scalar::Util::reftype. Is the repository in git yet? If so, I can provide patches. thank you!
