NAME
base::ball - "b" all the namespaces under the given one(s)
VERSION
This document describes base::ball version 0.0.1
SYNOPSIS
use base::ball qw(Foo::Utils);equivalent to:
use base qw(Foo::Utils);
use base qw(Foo::Utils::Data);
use base qw(Foo::Utils::UI);
use base qw(Foo::Utils::Sys);
use base qw(Foo::Utils::Sys::Unix);
use base qw(Foo::Utils::Sys::Win32);
use base qw(Foo::Utils::Run);DESCRIPTION
Recursively searches the directory that the given name spaces are in to also 'use base' on their "child" name spaces based on any .pm files found and any directories that belong to that .pm
In other words, assuming that the Foo/ that Foo::Utils is in has:
Utils/Data.pm, Utils/UI.pm, Utils/Sys.pm, Utils/Sys/Unix.pm, Utils/Sys/Win32.pm, Utils/Run.pm
then the synopsis is correct.
Note it does not follow directories who do not firts have a .pm, in other words:
Foo/Utils/Whatever/Fiddle.pm will no get Foo:Utils::Whatever::Fiddle as base unless Foo/Utils/Whatever.pm exists (and therefore Foo::Utils::Whatever is a base)
This is by design for good reasons and given enough popular demand may lead to support for it.
