- =head1 NAME
-
- base - Establish IS-A relationship with base classes at compile time
-
- =head1 SYNOPSIS
-
- package Baz;
- use base qw(Foo Bar);
-
- =head1 DESCRIPTION
-
- 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);
- }
-
- If any of the listed modules are not loaded yet, I<base> silently attempts to
- C<require> them (and silently continues if the C<require> failed). Whether to
- C<require> a base class module is determined by the absence of a global variable
- $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>.
-
- Will also initialize the fields if one of the base classes has it.
- Multiple inheritence 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.
-
- =head1 HISTORY
-
- This module was introduced with Perl 5.004_04.
-
-
- =head1 CAVEATS
-
- Due to the limitations of the implementation, you must use
- base I<before> you declare any of your own fields.
