Well I know how I could derive from a base class using
e.g. ---------------8<--------------- use base qw(XML::LibXSLT)
## my module code ---------------8<---------------
But the problem is that XML::LibXSLT is a blessed scalar not a array nor a hash, adding and overwriting methods is no problem but you are running into trouble adding new instance-attributes or am I missing something?

Yes it's possible. Pure perl is probably the way to go.
To be honest, I'm not really sure what you're up to --
because I'm not sure what XSLT is, but since nobody else
answered...
You should check out the perlboot, perltoot, perltooc, pages to see how you can use the @INC to inherit XML::LibXSLT into your new XML::LibXSLT::Enhanced modules.
Alternatively, you might create a reference to a XML::LibXSLT in your blessed hash (or whatever).
That's solution I'm using at the moment but it does not satisfies me but to provide the same interface than my parent module I have to reimplement all its methods and that's exactly by I wanted to use inheritance. I know I could use AUTOLOAD but that's to much overhead.

Hi,
I'm fairly new to XS and have no idea how I could derive from another module which is bound to perl via XS.
e.g. I've XML::LibXSLT(XS-Binding to libxslt) and want derive from it XML::LibXSLT::Enhanced which adds new attributes.
Is this possible, using XS or even pure perl?
