I have just uploaded to CPAN a new version of "UNIVERSAL", a perl module
that provides basic object functionality. It should be avaliable on mirror
sites soon.

perl5.001m or later is required.

The package provides:

   * Lookup if an object supports a particular method

   * Find the class name of an object

   * Determine if a variable is an instance of a class

   * Query an object to determin if it is an instance of a particular
     class, or variable type

Comments are always very welcome.

Share and Enjoy!

Regards,
Graham.
