in thread using passed parent object reference to get at attributes
I wondered about doing "use parent" instead of working with @ISA for the test case. I didn't know but it turns out you can if the Perl isn't really ancient (I think you need 5.10.1). Instead of:
one could also:push @cChild::ISA, 'cParent';
use parent -norequire, 'cParent';
In the real application, as opposed to the test example, the classes are probably broken up into seperate files and you probably just remove the '-norequire, '.
