in reply to OO: sharing data across inheritance

In traditional OO, your child class inherits the behavior of the parent class, not the data of a specific parent object.

However, you may want to check out prototyped-based programming via Class::Prototyped, as illustrated in a recent column of mine.

    Yeah, but the de facto Perl standard of doing OO means you do inherit all the data of a specific parent object.
