in thread Avoiding the Use of @ISA = qw(Foo::Bar);

I want an extra layer of indirection between me and @ISA, because I don't like assuming that @ISA was already empty when I said our @ISA = qw(Foo);. use base provides that layer and gives you a little extra stuff.

    Yes, but who else would set it, other than your definition of your module? You need to have one place in your program with a clear declaration of the inheritance of that class.
