Answer: How can I make one class extend another one? contributed by chromatic Inheritance is very easy in Perl. Assuming we have a class PerlMonk, we could create a new class called vroom that extends the first: package vroom; @ISA = qw ( PerlMonk ); [download] From then on, for any method called on an instance of vroom that isn't defined immediately in the class, Perl will search the classes named in @vroom::ISA for those methods. That is, PerlMonk::dispense_wisdom() is available via $vroom->dispense_wisdom() even if there is no vroom::dispense_wisdom(). Note that the @ISA array can contain lots of parent classes. Note also that they are searched left-to-right, depth first.

Additionally, it is integrated with fields pragma (if you like strict data members protection)
