First: I don't mean to be rude or anything, but let's not pick on words. When we used the word "Parent" here, we meant either using SUPER or writing the specific name of the parent class, which in this particular case would be "Control": $self->Control::DESTROY(). And use strict; use warnings; are implied! If I didn't show them in my code sample, it's only for the purpose of saving space and making it more readable to allow to concentrate on the original problem and not getting side-tracked.

Second: What's that "must" all about? Are you implying that would solve the original problem? Let's see... the parent class is tied to the database, the child class is tied to the database, child's DESTROY() method is executed first and saves changes to the database, but then parent's DESTROY() method is executed, which overwrites the changes. So, unfortunately "must" doesn't do any good here.
