[Metadot-developers] @ISA = qw(Portal);

[Rich B. <rb...@rc...>]

I'm starting to poke around in the Metadot code, to see if this is what
I want to use, and I'm curious about something. It seems that every one
of the modules that thinks that it ISA Portal reimplements methods that
are implemented in the parent class (is_a, id, and so on) rather than
just calling them out of the inherited list of methods. Is there a
particular reason for this?

$foo->is_a should call is_a out of the parent class of ref($foo) if it
does not find it directly in ref($foo).
