Hi -- I have a set of classes like this: 

package A;
# much base code which Does The Right Thing based on subclass type
# thru ref($self) inspection

1;

package B1;
use base(qw(A));
# no code here
1;

package B2;
use base(qw(A));
# no code here
1;

package B3;
use base(qw(A));
# no code here
1;

etc

That is, I set up a bunch of superthin subclasses of a base class -- they only differ between themselves in the class name.

Is there a way to dynamically generate the B1 ... Bn classes on the fly at execution, vs. creating them in B1.pm, B2.pm, etc. ?
