    According to the docs, the init method is "designed to be overridden by subclasses. The default init method in Shell::Base does nothing."

    You override it like any other method:

    package My::Shell;

use Shell::Base;
use base qw(Shell::Base);

sub init {
   my ($self, $args) = @_;
   ...
}
