=head1 NAME
base - Establish IS-A relationship with base class at compile time
=head1 SYNOPSIS
package Baz;
use base qw(Foo Bar);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Roughly similar in effect to
BEGIN {
require Foo;
require Bar;
push @ISA, qw(Foo Bar);
}
Will also initialize the %FIELDS hash if one of the base classes has
it. Multiple inheritance of %FIELDS is not supported. The 'base'
pragma will croak if multiple base classes has a %FIELDS hash. See
L<fields> for a description of this feature.
When strict 'vars' is in scope I<base> also let you assign to @ISA
without having to declare @ISA with the 'vars' pragma first.
This module was introduced with Perl 5.004_04.
