I expect isa() is friendlier to subclasses, though wouldn't matter
within a self-contained spot of code as such.

A bit of a grep shows eq instead of isa in a few modules in cpan.  I see
with some embarrassment one of mine too! :-)  Maybe a perlcritic check
could advise against it, in general ...

The other ways to do it of course include ->can('foo') to see if the
method you think you want is possible, or ->find_property('foo') for a
possible object property of interest.
