Hi, I've been trying to create a simple subclass of Gearman::XS::Client, but seem unable to do so. I can instantiate the subclass, but the object is not of the correct class: 
use Test::More;
use strict;
use warnings;

{
    package My::Gearman::Client;
    use parent 'Gearman::XS::Client';

    sub foo {}
}

my $gm = My::Gearman::Client->new;

isa_ok($gm, 'Gearman::XS::Client'); # Pass
isa_ok($gm, 'My::Gearman::Client'); # Fail
can_ok($gm, 'foo'); # Fail

The code works as expected if I substitute Gearman::XS::Client with another module, such as JSON::XS. I've tried use parent, use base, manually modifying @ISA, and using extends from Mouse. I'm assuming that the problem is caused by Gearman::XS::Client, buy why?
