Class::DBI::Relationship::IsA now on CPAN

[prev] [thread] [next] [Date index for 2004/09/27]

hi all,

You can now get 'Class::DBI::Relationship::IsA' from CPAN, see
http://search.cpan.org/~teejay/Class-DBI-Relationship-IsA-0.02/
for details.

In short it provides an 'Is A' relationship, so that a child object can 
inherit its parents CDBI attributes and their accessors transparently to 
the user.

It doesn't munge @ISA so methods in a module that aren't generated by 
CDBI, etc won't be inherited - you may want to mix-in instead, providing 
the persistance and accessors/mutators from one parent class and other 
methods/functionality from another class. I'm sure that it matches 
one of those puritan OO buzzwordy class patterns that Java people like so 
much ;)

Patches, fixes and additional documentation welcome as always..

A.
