This is somewhat a bug in Moo, and also possibly a bug in forks.
forks scans through every package checking for CLONE_SKIP subs. It uses
->can to do this. This mostly matches the behavior of threads, except
they don't use ->can to check for this. So this is a slight difference
in behavior that forks should maybe fix.
Moo contains a package that doesn't work when ->can is used as a class
method. This is the direct cause of the error, and I should have that
fixed soon.
