As documented in Moose, you don't actually inherit the meta method from Moose::Object. Each Moose class gets its own individual meta method built for it, completely overriding any that would have been inherited.

They're all much of a muchness though:

sub meta {
    $metaclass->initialize(blessed($_[0]) || $_[0]);
}

The $metaclass variable which has been closed over is usually the string "Moose::Meta::Class", though it may be a different class name if you're doing interesting metaprogramming stuff.
