Yes you can find out whether an object is blessed more elegantly
( tye and merlyn told me):
if UNIVERSAL::isa($ref,'can'){
And as for your type finding, this is from perldoc perlobj:
isa(CLASS)
`isa' returns true if its object is blessed into a
subclass of `CLASS'
`isa' is also exportable and can be called as a sub
with two arguments. This allows the ability to check
what a reference points to. Example:
if(UNIVERSAL::isa($ref, 'ARRAY')) {...

Update: Yeah I screwed up remembering tye's solution. I looked it up (mea culpa):
$ref->can('isa')
Is the beast you are looking for.
Update2: D'oh. I took it for granted that you wanted a ref-check anyway, like if( ref $r ){ if ($r->can('isa')){.... Your UNIVERSAL::can($r, 'isa') sounds really neat. I'm curiously awaiting tye's/ merlyn's response(s).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
