base − Establish IS-A relationship with base class at compile time
package Baz; use base qw(Foo Bar);
Roughly similar in effect to
BEGIN { require Foo; require Bar; push @ISA, qw(Foo Bar); }
Will also initialize the %FIELDS hash if one of the base classes has it. Multiple inheritance of %FIELDS is not supported. The ’base’ pragma will croak if multiple base classes have a %FIELDS hash. See the fields manpage for a description of this feature.
When strict ’vars’ is in scope base also let you assign to @ISA without having to declare @ISA with the ’vars’ pragma first.
If any of the base classes are not loaded yet, base silently "require"s them. Whether to "require" a base class package is determined by the absence of a global $VERSION in the base package. If $VERSION is not detected even after loading it, <base> will define $VERSION in the base package, setting it to the string "−1, set by base.pm".
This module was introduced with Perl 5.004_04.
