Hopefully he will be by soon and let us know.

It's a bug in my code :)

    At the bare minimum I would say you could make a nice follow up article or whatnot out of this. :-)

    Nice article BTW, a very good explanation of some of the darker corners of overload.

    I reckon the moral of this story for us all is that to properly test the inheritance of an overloaded module is that you need to to do a double empty subclass test and test them all against each other. (A methodology that could actually be easily automated if somebody wants to write a Test::Overload module.)
