parent for Linux 0.223

parent is a Perl module that allows you to both load one or more modules, while setting up inheritance from those modules at the same time. Mostly similar in effect to<br /><br /> package Baz;<br /> BEGIN {<br /> require Foo;<br /> require Bar;<br /> push @ISA, qw(Foo Bar);<br /> }<br /><br />By default, every base class needs to live in a file of its own. If you want to have a subclass and its parent class in the same file, you can tell parent not to load any modules by using the -norequire switch:<br /><br /> package Foo;<br /> sub exclaim { "I CAN HAS PERL" }<br /><br /> package DoesNotLoadFooBar;<br /> use parent -norequire, 'Foo', 'Bar';<br /> # will not go looking for Foo.pm or Bar.pm<br /><br />This is equivalent to the following code:<br /><br /> package Foo;<br /> sub exclaim { "I CAN HAS PERL" }<br /><br /> package DoesNotLoadFooBar;<br /> push @DoesNotLoadFooBar::ISA, 'Foo', 'Bar';<br /><br />This is also helpful for the case where a package lives within a differently named file:<br /><br /> package MyHash;<br /> use Tie::Hash;<br /> use parent -norequire, 'Tie::StdHash';<br /><br />This is equivalent to the following code:<br /><br /> package MyHash;<br /> require Tie::Hash;<br /> push @ISA, 'Tie::StdHash';<br /><br />If you want to load a subclass from a file that require would not consider an eligible filename (that is, it does not end in either .pm or .pmc), use the following code:<br /><br /> package MySecondPlugin;<br /> require './plugins/custom.plugin'; # contains Plugin::Custom<br /> use parent -norequire, 'Plugin::Custom';<br /><br />SYNOPSIS<br /><br /> package Baz;<br /> use parent qw(Foo Bar);
