May be it is out of the thread but I must say a word.

Be carefull with base pragma, it will only require your base modules, not use them! So import subroutines of the base modules will be ignored.

A spot from documentation:

-----------
    package Baz;
    use base qw(Foo Bar);

Roughly similar in effect to

    BEGIN {
    require Foo;
    require Bar;
    push @ISA, qw(Foo Bar);
    }
----------

An example:

----------
### File A.pm
package A;
sub import { warn "A imported"; }
----------
### File X.pm
package X;
use base qw(A);
sub import { warn "X imported"; }
----------
### File Y.pm
package Y;
use A;
use base qw(A);
sub import { warn "Y imported"; }
-----------
### File Z.pm
package Z;
use A;
@ISA = qw(A);
sub import { warn "Z imported"; }
----------

[download]

And now:

bash$ perl -e 'use X'
import X at X.pm line 7.

bash$ perl -e 'use Y'
import A at A.pm line 5.
import Y at Y.pm line 8.

bash$ perl -e 'use Z'
import A at A.pm line 5.
import Z at Z.pm line 9.

You can see base module A is not imported in the first case.
