Re^2: Inheritance: the root of the problem

[apotheon]

Decide how you want inheritance to work, and you can implement it with closures.

That's just it — I don't know yet, and it's the question I seek to answer by way of this discussion (or, at least, a question I seek to get closer to answering by way of this discussion). There are many here at PerlMonks who know great gobs more about OOP and inheritance-like mechanisms than I, and I seek their (your) wisdom.
