> Don't use UNIVERSAL::isa, its use is discouraged

Not arguing with you, but that's a new one on me.  What's your source?

I checked some in the Perl 5.8 doc and I did notice that:

	use	UNIVERSAL qw(isa);

(which I use a lot and have recommended, oops) is discouraged in favor of:

	*isa = \&UNIVERSAL::isa;

Of course, in true Perl style, the same manual page actually uses the
discouraged form in an example!
