For methods or derived modules the "can" operator
returns a coderef that can be converted into the
source module and line number:
my $subref = __PACKAGE__->can( 'frobnicate' );
my $subref = $pkg_name->can( $method );
my $subref = $blessed->can( $name );
can all be traced back to the source module and line
number.
