=head1 NAME

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitUniversalIsa - Write C<< eval { $foo->isa($pkg) } >> instead of C<UNIVERSAL::isa($foo, $pkg)>.


=head1 AFFILIATION

This Policy is part of the core L<Perl::Critic|Perl::Critic>
distribution.


=head1 DESCRIPTION

    print UNIVERSAL::isa($obj, 'Foo::Bar') ? 'yes' : 'no';  #not ok
    print eval { $obj->isa('Foo::Bar') } ? 'yes' : 'no';    #ok

As of Perl 5.9.3, the use of C<UNIVERSAL::isa> as a function has been
deprecated and the method form is preferred instead.  Formerly, the
functional form was recommended because it gave valid results even
when the object was C<undef> or an unblessed scalar.  However, the
functional form makes it impossible for packages to override C<isa()>,
a technique which is crucial for implementing mock objects and some
facades.

Another alternative to UNIVERSAL::isa is the C<_INSTANCE> method of
Param::Util, which is faster.

See the CPAN module L<UNIVERSAL::isa|UNIVERSAL::isa> for an incendiary
discussion of this topic.


=head1 CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
