The application I currently work on has a class named, CC2::Schema::BirthdayCardList. and there is an object of it which calls a method 'add_to_birthday_cards', but I cant see any so named method or any AUTOLOADs in either the same class or any parent classes of it. So I wonder where this method is located and how it works. I tried to find it with, Class::ISA and the output was as below : 
perl -I ~/lib/ -MCC2::Schema::BirthdayCardList -MClass::ISA -le 'for (
+Class::ISA::super_path( "CC2::Schema::BirthdayCardList" )) { print "\
+$_ is : $_"; print "I have the method, add_to_birthday_cards\n" if $_
+->can("add_to_birthday_cards") }'

and the output was as follows : 
$_ is : Local::CMSDBIx
$_ is : DBIx::Class::InflateColumn::DateTime
$_ is : DBIx::Class::InflateColumn
$_ is : DBIx::Class::Row
$_ is : DBIx::Class::Core
$_ is : DBIx::Class::Relationship
$_ is : DBIx::Class::Relationship::Helpers
$_ is : DBIx::Class::Relationship::HasMany
$_ is : DBIx::Class::Relationship::HasOne
$_ is : DBIx::Class::Relationship::BelongsTo
$_ is : DBIx::Class::Relationship::ManyToMany
$_ is : DBIx::Class::Relationship::Accessor
$_ is : DBIx::Class::Relationship::CascadeActions
$_ is : DBIx::Class::Relationship::ProxyMethods

That is none of them have a so called method. However if I run this : 
perl -I ~/lib/ -MCC2::Schema::BirthdayCardList -le 'print "Yes.....\n"
+ if CC2::Schema::BirthdayCardList->can("add_to_birthday_cards")'

it prints "Yes.....". So what is magical here ?
