NAME all::your::base::are::belong::to - perform multiple inheritance in Perl! SYNOPSIS package My::Cat; use all::your::base::are::belong::to 'My::Mammal', 'My::WhiskeredThing'; DESCRIPTION OK, that abstract ("perform multiple inheritance in Perl!") makes this module sound really clever, but Perl supports multiple inheritance out of the box. So really this is just some silly syntactic sugar for setting up a module's inheritance chain. The example in the SYNOPSIS section is exactly equivalent to: package My::Cat; use parent 'My::Mammal', 'My::WhiskeredThing'; which is roughly equivalent to: package My::Cat; BEGIN { require My::Mammal; require My::WhiskeredThing; push @My::Cat::ISA, 'My::Mammal', 'My::WhiskeredThing'; } SEE ALSO parent, perlboot.
