Hi monks!

I am working on a complex software and have a lot of modules here. I heard about inheritance in Perl but have never used it on practice. I have a few modules. Let's call them A.pm, A::1.pm, A::2.pm and A::3.pm.

A.pm calls from inside module A::1, A::1 calls A::2 A::3 calls A (parent) and A::1

What is the best practice to handle this problem?

The questions are:

1) Do I have to call all the modules I need from inside every module, or daughter modules automatically inherit functions from parent A.pm?

2) What to do with daughter modules which call their "sisters"? Like: does A::3 must call A::1?

thanks!

Regards

Arsenii.
