VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

There are two ways to use Class::Implant.

procedural way as follow.

package main;
use Class::Implant;

implant qw(Foo::Bar Less::More) { into => "Cat" }   # import all methods in Foo::Bar and Less::More into Cat

or in classical way. just using caller as default target for implanting.

package Cat;
use Class::Implant;

implant qw(Less::More);                 # mixing all methods from Less::More, 
                                        # like ruby 'include'

implant qw(Foo::Bar), { inherit => 1 }; # import all methods from Foo::Bar and inherit it
                                        # it just do one more step: unshift Foo::Bar into @ISA
                                        # this step is trivial in Perl
                                        # but present a verisimilitude simulation of inheritance in Ruby
