From Class::Prototyped: 
       The code that implements reflection on classes automatically cr
+eates
       slot names for package methods as well as parent slots for the 
+entries
       in @ISA.  This means that you can code classes like you normall
+y do -
       by doing the inheritance in @ISA and writing package methods.

I consider the Class::Prototyped docs as required reading material before reading CGI::Prototype, hence the reference early on in the manpage.

And as a meta-note, I'm not sure The Monastery is a good place for you to submit bug reports against the software, nor demonstrate your ignorance in public. Please consider more traditional means for either or both of those activities.
