in reply to OOP: Plugin Style Development

Perl doesn't do interface checking at compile time; so if you wanted to check it, you'd have to write your own checking code:
package Foo; use base 'Bar'; my @missing_methods = grep { ! Foo->can($_) } qw(foo bar baz); if (@missing_methods) { die "missing methods: @missing_methods"; } ...

    FWIW, the recent release of interface to CPAN might help with this compile-time checking.
