perltoot is a cargo-cult promulgator. Much better is Damian Conway's book on OO perl. I forget the name.

Why would you think it's required for inheritance? Have you studied how method dispatch works in Perl5?

Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.

    A misreading of perltoot is why i thought it was needed. They put two arg form of bless and using ref($class) in the same paragraph saying planing for the future. Definitly my fault there for not reading more accuratly.
