I want to use sub attributes to mark some of my subs as available over xmlrpc. The I would have thought the code below does what I want, but attributes::get always returns an empty list. 
package Dispatcher;

use strict;
use warnings;
use Attribute::Handlers;

sub xmlrpc_methods {

        my @methods = ();

        my $package = shift;
        {
            no strict 'refs';
            for my $key ( %{$package.'::'} ) {
                next unless my $code = *{$package.'::'.$key}{CODE};
                push @methods, $key
                  if grep { $_ eq 'xmlrpc' } attributes::get($code);
            }
        }

        return @methods;
}

1;

sub xmlrpc :ATTR(CODE) {}

package MyClass;

use base qw(Dispatcher);

sub foo : xmlrpc { }
1;

I expect MyClass->xmlrpc_methods() to return foo, but it returns an empty list. Ideas? Thank you.
