It would be possible to traverse each element of @INC, but that strikes me as rather ugly.

It is ugly, and it's not enough. With that approach you get all parent classes, not all subclasses. Instead you'd have to walk the symbol tables and check their @ISA arrays - even uglier.

Generally it's better to use a different approach, for example register each base class with the parent:

{ package Your::Parser; my @parsers; sub register { push @parsers, $_[0]; } } { package Your::Sub::Parser; our @ISA qw(Your::Parser); __PACKAGE__->register(); }

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
