488- ** Root cause** : The parser in ` SubroutineParser.java ` (line 245) incorrectly parses:
489- ``` perl
490- is MojoMonkeyTest::bar(), ' bar' , ' right result' ;
491- ```
492- as indirect method call ` MojoMonkeyTest::bar->is(...) ` instead of function call
493- ` is(MojoMonkeyTest::bar(), ...) ` .
494-
495- This happens because ` MojoMonkeyTest::bar ` was installed at runtime via ` monkey_patch `
496- (typeglob assignment) so the parser doesn't see it at compile time.
488+ ** Root cause** : The parser in ` SubroutineParser.java ` (line 203) entered indirect method
489+ detection even when the calling function (` is ` ) was already known (imported from
490+ Test::More). It misparsed ` is MojoMonkeyTest::bar(), 'bar' ` as
491+ ` MojoMonkeyTest::bar->is(...) ` .
497492
498- ** Fix location** : ` SubroutineParser.java ` , line 245. When the calling function (` is ` )
499- is known to exist AND the potential class name is followed by ` ( ` , prefer function-call
500- interpretation.
493+ ** Fix** : Added ` !subExists ` guard at line 203, matching the existing pattern at line 279
494+ (which correctly guards the ` $variable ` class case). Per Perl 5's ` perlobj ` : "If there
495+ is a subroutine with the same name as the method in your current package, Perl will call
496+ that subroutine instead."
