Re: Using a base module with a required version

[ikegami]

use Juliet 1.1;
use base 'Juliet';

But base has issues avoided by using parent.

use Juliet 1.1;
use parent 'Juliet';

But I don't see the point of using either.

use Juliet 1.1;
our @ISA = 'Juliet';

Saying it this way

use Juliet 1.1;
our @ISA = 'Juliet';

actually makes the most sense to me -- but I'm uneasy about twiddling with @ISA since that's how Perl gets told about inheritance.

Hiding @ISA with your middle example

use Juliet 1.1;
use parent 'Juliet';

is less alarming -- but it seems like it does the same thing.

I've very confused. Isn't that exactly what you want to do?

If not, you shouldn't be using base.pm or parent.pm or @ISA, just use Juliet 1.1;.
