Re: Using a base module with a required version

use Juliet 1.1;
use base 'Juliet';
[download]

But base has issues avoided by using parent.

use Juliet 1.1;
use parent 'Juliet';
[download]

But I don't see the point of using either.

use Juliet 1.1;
our @ISA = 'Juliet';
[download]

Saying it this way `use Juliet 1.1; our @ISA = 'Juliet';` [download] actually makes the most sense to me -- but I'm uneasy about twiddling with `@ISA` since that's how Perl gets told about inheritance. Hiding `@ISA` with your middle example `use Juliet 1.1; use parent 'Juliet';` [download] is less alarming -- but it seems like it does the same thing. Alex / talexb / Toronto Thanks PJ.

I'm uneasy about twiddling with @ISA since that's how Perl gets told about inheritance. I've very confused. Isn't that exactly what you want to do? If not, you shouldn't be using base.pm or parent.pm or `@ISA`, just `use Juliet 1.1;`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
