Just a comment; SUPER:: has nothing to do with the object; it's purely syntactic sugar to look up the current package's first @ISA element.

Witness:

use strict;
use warnings;

@Foo::ISA = "Bar";
@Baz::ISA = "Quux";

sub Bar::phrenia { print "In Bar::phrenia\n" }
sub Quux::phrenia { print "In Quux::phrenia\n" }

package Foo;

sub Baz::schizo {
    my $self = shift;
    $self->SUPER::phrenia();
}

package main;

my $obj = bless {}, "Baz";
$obj->schizo();

This produces "In Bar::phrenia", where Bar isn't even in $obj's inheritance tree.
