NAME

Exporter::WithBase - Like Exporter, but add '-base' to declare a child class

SYNOPSIS

# file Mother.pm
package Mother;
use Exporter::WithBase;
our @EXPORT = qw<ONE>;
use constant ONE => 1;
...


# file Child.pm
package Child;
# instead of: use parent 'Mother'
use Mother -base;
print ONE, "\n";

DESCRIPTION

Does the same things as Exporter, but also supports a -base flag. That flag can be used in the use statement of a class to push the class into @ISA.

The -base flag must be the first argument in the import list:

use Mother qw( ONE -base ); # doesn't work
use Mother qw( -base ONE ); # works

SEE ALSO

import::Base, parent, Mojo::Base.
