OTOH, UNIVERSAL doc mentions:

           # but never do this!
           $is_io    = UNIVERSAL::isa($fd, "IO::Handle");
           $sub      = UNIVERSAL::can($obj, "print");


I think an alternative is suggested at the end of this man page:

   Instead, use "reftype" from Scalar::Util for the first case:

         use Scalar::Util 'reftype';

         $yes = reftype( $h ) eq "HASH";

reftype never returns a class name, it always returns the type of the 
structure hidden behind an object.

Can you modify the patch and test that it works ?

If yes, we will be able to submit another patch to upstream.

HTH
