I didn't find any modules that provided that functionality (although I didn't look very hard), but it's easy to code:

use mro; sub find_implementor { my ($class, $method) = @_; for my $parent (@{ mro::get_linear_isa($class) }) { no strict 'refs'; return $parent if exists( &{"${parent}::$method"} ); } return 'UNIVERSAL' if UNIVERSAL->can($method); return find_implementor($class, 'AUTOLOAD') if $method ne 'AUTOLOAD' && $class->can($method); return undef; }
use strict; use warnings; {package Foo; sub m1; sub m2 {} our @a; } {package Bar; our @ISA = 'Foo'; } print(find_implementor('Bar', 'm1' ) // "[undef]", "\n"); # Foo print(find_implementor('Bar', 'm2' ) // "[undef]", "\n"); # Foo print(find_implementor('Bar', 'a' ) // "[undef]", "\n"); # [undef] print(find_implementor('Bar', 'isa') // "[undef]", "\n"); # UNIVERSAL

Update: Added support for AUTOLOAD. Fixed strict error in test.
Update: Fixed AUTOLOAD.
