Hi all
Shouldn''t it be possible to access definitions from a super class in
a subclass? Eg.:
class foo {
define bar (bla) {
...
}
class oof inherits foo {
bar { "rab":
bla => "something",
}
}
spews out an error: "Could not find definition bar at...

There were some bugs in this in 0.20.x and 0.22.0, but it should work fine in 0.22.1. -- What is the sound of Perl?

Yeah, it''s necessary, but it seems like inheritance should add the base class''s namespace to the current class''s class search path (opened as bug #517). It might also be a good idea to do the same thing when doing an include, but probably not, at this point. -- ''Tis better to be silent and be thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt. --Abraham Lincoln --------------------------------------------------------------------- Luke Kanies | http://reductivelabs.com | http://madstop.com

I just got done fighting with this same issue since I think when I inherit from a class I expect to have access to everything in that class. The foo::bar is definitely an acceptable workaround for now. -Jeremy
