Not too long ago i created this piece of code to try to help with some debugging. It should tell you the entire ancestor tree of your object. I dont think the order is exactly like the way that methods would be searched for, but i thought of this code when i first read your post.
Put this method in your Child class. (hopefully you'll be able to call it.)
sub isa_descent {
my $self = shift @_;
my ($class) = @_;
print "\npackage: $class\n";
no strict 'refs';
my @ancestors = @{ 'main::' . $class . '::ISA' };
use strict;
foreach my $ancestor ( @ancestors ) {
print "...ancestor: $ancestor\n";
$self->isa_descent($ancestor);
}
}
You'll want to call it from outside the class probably, perhaps just after creating the object instance. The output wont change unless you're messing with @ISA.
$o->isa_descent(ref $o);
