Whilst developing a bespoke module to determine the provenance of a class method (local or inherited), this (simplified) test harness code ... 
package simple_obj;

use Class::Flyweight::Lite::Core qw/attrib/;

sub add_attrib { my $self = shift }
}

sub get_addr { \&add_attrib }

package main;

use warnings;
use strict;
use Test::More;

diag 'simple_obj->get_addr():        ' . simple_obj->get_addr();
diag 'simple_obj->can(qw/get_addr/): ' . simple_obj->can(qw/get_addr/)
+;
diag '\&simple_obj::get_addr:        ' . \&simple_obj::get_addr;

generates the following unexpected results:

.
# simple_obj->get_addr():        CODE(0x8e9da2c)
# simple_obj->can(qw/get_addr/): CODE(0x8ff8bd8)
# \&simple_obj::get_addr:        CODE(0x8ff8bd8)

I say unexpected because, since the same sub is the subject of the various operations, my expectation was that the returned address/ref. should be the same in all cases - but it self-evidently isn't.

So, is it me and my understanding of the perldoc for UNIVERSAL - specifically '...returns a reference to the sub.' ?

By way of an in-situ update, I've now found Class::Inspector - which does everything I wanted my module to do ... thanx be to CPAN - for all the joy, wonders & labour saving :-)

UPDATE: Thanx to dsheroh for pointing out the problem that was so obvious to all but me in Re: How can the same sub have 2 different references.

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))
