From a design point of view, this looks like a task for Module::Pluggable. If all your modules A, B, C, D provide similar interface, you could just iterate over $self->plugins in your methods instead of spelling out special cases for A, B, C, D manually. Untested pseudo-Perl example:

package Synergy; use Module::Pluggable instantiate => 'new'; sub new { my ($class, @opts) = @_; return bless [ $class->plugins(@opts) ], $class; # now your object contains objects of classes A, B, C, D # and whatever else was in Synergy/*.pm near Synergy.pm } sub process { my ($self, @args) = @_; return map { $_->process(@args) } @$self; # passes args to all sub-modules }

On the other hand, if your modules all provide different methods with no intersection whatsoever and you just need to have all of them in one class, you could try to use base to inherit all their methods automatically. This way you only need to spell out your parent packages once.

But if you need to call different parent methods from the same method depending on other circumstances... That sounds like a very complex wrapper. Maybe what you are trying to achieve can be achieved in a simpler way?

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
