Re: Prettified Perl Inheritance

See also GraphViz::ISA and pmload in pmtools (basic).

Diamond inheritence will get tree-ified won't it?

Also, use/require already remembers loaded modules in %INC:

$ perl -MDBI -le '$,="\n"; print %INC'
warnings/register.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.8.0/warnings/register.pm
Carp.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.8.0/Carp.pm
Exporter/Heavy.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.8.0/Exporter/Heavy.pm
strict.pm
/usr/share/perl/5.8.0/strict.pm
 continues ...

Hmm, I haven't done any testing with diamond inheritance. I know that I setup the code to not follow an inheritance tree more than once, so it wouldn't get into infinite loops. The reason I didn't use `%INC` for testing whether a module was loaded was because I wanted to record which module had loaded it first (well, in the tree-scheme of things :) and didn't really care where the file existed. Thanks for the tip (and thanks to PodMaster for his) regarding the graphing modules.	[reply] [d/l]
