Hi, >From the base.pm documentation<http://perldoc.perl.org/base.html#DESCRIPTION>:
Unless you are using the fields pragma, consider this module discouraged in favor of the lighter-weight parent . >From the parent.pm documentation<http://perldoc.perl.org/parent.html#HISTORY> : This module was forked from base to remove the cruft that had accumulated in it. parent.pm is a 30 lines pure Perl dual module available also in core since 5.10.1. So I've done the work to replace all "use base" with either "use parent" or "use parent -norequire => ". Most changes are in lib/Class/ and t/. The code is here: https://github.com/dolmen/p5-Moose/commits/topic/base-to-parent (branch topic/base-to-parent at git://github.com/dolmen/p5-Moose.git) I've yet not touched the 'benchmark' directory to avoid breaking reference values. Tell me if I should go further... Olivier Mengué (DOLMEN).
