Re: How can I make one class extend another one?by chromatic (Archbishop) |

Inheritance is very easy in Perl. Assuming we have a class PerlMonk, we could create a new class called vroom that extends the first:
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.
