SYNOPSIS
use UNIVERSAL::which;
use Some::Sub::Class; # which inherits lots of modules
# ....
my $o = Some::Sub::Class->new;
# in scalar context
my $fqn = $o->which("method");
# in list context
my ($pkg, $name) = $o->which("method");
# as function
my $fqn = UNIVERSAL::which('Some::Sub::Class', 'method');
DESCRIPTION
UNIVERSAL::which provides only one method, "which".
As the name suggests, it returns the fully qualified name of a given
method. Sometimes you want to know the true origin of a method but
inheritance and AUTOLOAD gets in your way. This module does just that.
t/*.t illustrates how UNIVERSAL::which behaves more in details.
