=head1 DESCRIPTION |
36 |
|
|
|
37 |
|
|
Mixin inheritance is an alternative to the usual multiple-inheritance |
38 |
|
|
and solves the problem of knowing which parent will be called. |
39 |
|
|
It also solves a number of tricky problems like diamond inheritence. |
40 |
|
|
|
41 |
|
|
The idea is to solve the same sets of problems which MI solves without |
42 |
|
|
the problems of MI. |
43 |

|
=head2 Using a mixin class. |
45 |
|
|
|
46 |
|
|
There are two steps to using a mixin-class. |
47 |
|
|
|
48 |
|
|
First, make sure you are inherited from the class with which the |
49 |
|
|
mixin-class is to be mixed. |
50 |
|
|
|
51 |
|
|
package Dog::Small::Retriever; |
52 |
|
|
use base 'Dog::Small'; |
53 |
|
|
|
54 |
|
|
Since Dog::Small isa Dog, that does it. Then simply mixin the new |
55 |
|
|
functionality |
56 |
|
|
|
57 |
|
|
use mixin 'Dog::Retriever'; |
58 |
|
|
|
59 |
|
|
and now you can use fetch(). |
