Re: Re2: maintaining constructor inheritance cascade

Excellent, it is an improvement - so I end up with proper cascading constructors using:

sub new {
  my $class = shift;
  my $self = $class->SUPER::new(@_);
  $self->_initChild(@_);
  return $self;
}

Which is cleaner than looking at @ISA for a possible parent.

Thanks!

Well, actually, `SUPER` does look at `@ISA` ... more significantly, perhaps, it looks at the `@ISA` in the current package, which may have nothing at all to do with the actual class of the object that you may or may not be working with at a given time. But oddly enough that's usually the right thing. Weird. -- Chip Salzenberg, Free-Floating Agent of Chaos	[reply] [d/l] [select]
