Xapian discuss - Nov 2006 - Search::Xapian::PostingIterator broken in 0.9.6?

I'm having some trouble with the PostingIterator in the latest cpan  
release of Search::Xapian. The offending code is two calls to isa  
formed like this
isa($other,'Search::XapianPostingIterator');

They die with an autoloader error about not finding isa. They do  
however seem to work fine if rewritten like this:

$other->isa('Search::Xapian::PostingIterator');

Am I missing something?

I copied this code from some Alex wrote in Xapian/PositionIterator.pm,
but failed to copy this line at the top:

use UNIVERSAL qw( isa );

So adding that seems a better fix, if only for consistency within the
code.

Do you have a simple testcase for this?
