UPD: all true, except the thing which reload modules in dev mode was not Catalyst's but our code, which simply "do $modulefile".

I am running Catalyst in dev mode. It's able to reload packages when package's file modified.

One of my packages:

package SRS::MyTest;
use parent 'File::Find';
our @ISA;
BEGIN { print STDERR "HEREISIT @ISA\n"};

1;
[download]

If i modify it, catalyst will reload it, and then I see in console:

HEREISIT File::Find File::Find
 - /somepath/MyTest.pm reloaded 2343
[download]

That means File::Find is now twice in @ISA. Not a big problem until you use MRO C3

With mro C3 it fails with error: "Inconsistent hierarchy during C3 merge of class"

I believe these are separate part of this problem:

• 'use parent' will put module to @ISA twice if called twice ('use base' won't)
• mro C3 cannot live with same module specified twice
• Catalyst reloading modules without clearing @ISA first

PoC of problem without catalyst:

$ cat s1.pl
package XXX;
BEGIN { require mro; mro::set_mro( "XXX", 'c3' ); }
use parent qw( File::Find );
use parent qw( File::Find );
1;

$ perl s1.pl 
Inconsistent hierarchy during C3 merge of class 'XXX':
    current merge results [
        XXX,
    ]
    merging failed on 'File::Find' at /usr/share/perl/5.14/parent.pm l
+ine 26.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at s1.pl line 4.

Questions are:

• How to workaround this (to use catalyst @ dev, mro c3, 'use parent' at same time)?
• Is this Catalyst bug?
• How other people live with this? Am I first who ran into this?
• Where Catalyst's reloading code is described (or how to see it)?
