I'm confused by the question, too.

But from outside the class, you can't tell whether a method was
inherited or delegated. Derived classes inherit whatever behaviour the
base class provides (method dispatch to ancestors or method delegation
to attributes). If your base class delegates calls to C<delmeth>, you
can prevent that delegation by defining a C<delmeth> method in the
derived class.

Is that what you meant?
