Hmmm... thanks for the enlightment.
I actually thought it was some kind of best practice to call it as a
function. But I guess I'm to blame for not reading UNIVERSAL::can
manpages.

That's exactly the argument that made me switch over from
$obj->can('method') to UNIVERSAL::can($obj, 'method'). I, admittedly,
forgot about things such as isa() and can() overriding (I also use it
when calling isa(), which is probably also wrong ).

I guess now I should switch back to my old coding practices regarding
this subject.
