=head1 NAME
-base - Establish IS-A relationship with base class at compile time
+base - Establish an ISA relationship with base classes at compile time
=head1 SYNOPSIS
=head1 DESCRIPTION
-Roughly similar in effect to
+Unless you are using the C<fields> pragma, consider this module discouraged
+in favor of the lighter-weight C<parent>.
+
+Allows you to both load one or more modules, while setting up inheritance from
+those modules at the same time. Roughly similar in effect to
+ package Baz;
BEGIN {
- require Foo;
- require Bar;
- push @ISA, qw(Foo Bar);
+ require Foo;
+ require Bar;
+ push @ISA, qw(Foo Bar);
}
-Will also initialize the %FIELDS hash if one of the base classes has
-it. Multiple inheritance of %FIELDS is not supported. The 'base'
-pragma will croak if multiple base classes have a %FIELDS hash. See
-L<fields> for a description of this feature.
+C<base> employs some heuristics to determine if a module has already been
+loaded, if it has it doesn't try again. If C<base> tries to C<require> the
+module it will not die if it cannot find the module's file, but will die on any
+other error. After all this, should your base class be empty, containing no
+symbols, it will die. This is useful for inheriting from classes in the same
+file as yourself, like so:
-When strict 'vars' is in scope I<base> also let you assign to @ISA
-without having to declare @ISA with the 'vars' pragma first.
+ package Foo;
+ sub exclaim { "I can have such a thing?!" }
+
+ package Bar;
+ use base "Foo";
-If any of the base classes are not loaded yet, I<base> silently
-C<require>s them. Whether to C<require> a base class package is
-determined by the absence of a global $VERSION in the base package.
-If $VERSION is not detected even after loading it, <base> will
-define $VERSION in the base package, setting it to the string
-C<-1, set by base.pm>.
+If $VERSION is not detected even after loading it, <base> will define $VERSION
+in the base package, setting it to the string C<-1, set by base.pm>.
-=head1 HISTORY
+C<base> will also initialize the fields if one of the base classes has it.
+Multiple inheritance of fields is B<NOT> supported, if two or more base classes
+each have inheritable fields the 'base' pragma will croak. See L<fields>,
+L<public> and L<protected> for a description of this feature.
-This module was introduced with Perl 5.004_04.
+The base class' C<import> method is B<not> called.
