in reply to Where is the @ISA array?

Interesting. I don't have an answer per sey ... but this test seemed to work for me: 

use strict;
use warnings;

my $bar = bar->new;
$bar->foo;

package foo;
sub new { return bless {}, shift }

package bar;
use base qw( foo );
use Data::Dumper;

sub new { return bless {}, shift }
sub foo { print Dumper \@INC }

DOH! ... silly /me -- of course that works ... i typo'ed and used @INC, not @ISA --- that final method should have been: 

sub foo { print Dumper @__PACKAGE__::ISA }

[download]
Which is empty. :/ I give up.

UPDATE round 2:
That final method should have been: 

sub foo { print Dumper @bar::ISA }

[download]
Which does indeed yield the parent class. I am not sure why use base is no longer acceptable for Perl 5. It was supposed to replace the need to push to @ISA directly -- perhaps use base is not going to cut the mustard when roles and traits show up?
