in reply to 'use base' issue

See the docs for base. It's used for setting the @ISA variable at the same time as loading a module. It would be very rare to find a use for it outside of OO code.

    Depending even on the kind of OO you're doing. If using the Object::InsideOut CPAN module you actually don't have to do a 'use base'!
