OO-style question
To answer this question well, we need more concrete
information so we can make a call as to whether A is a B,
B is an A, A is a Base, B is a Base, etc.
But another option is that B can dispatch to A in any
number of ways. The two simplest are:
sub B::same { goto &A::same }
# or
*B::save= \&A::save;
I'll add that inheritance, especially in Perl, should be
saved as a last resort. Perl's inheritance is just way too
clumsy, being very all-or-nothing.
