# The devel/p5-Class-ISA port

## p5-Class-ISA-0.36p0 – report the search path for a class's ISA tree

## Description

    Suppose you have a class (like Food::Fish::Fishstick) that is derived,
    via its @ISA, from one or more superclasses (as Food::Fish::Fishstick is
    from Food::Fish, Life::Fungus, and Chemicals), and some of those
    superclasses may themselves each be derived, via its @ISA, from one or
    more superclasses (as above).

    When, then, you call a method in that class ($fishstick->calories), Perl
    first searches there for that method, but if it's not there, it goes
    searching in its superclasses, and so on, in a depth-first (or maybe
    "height-first" is the word) search. In the above example, it'd first
    look in Food::Fish, then Food, then Matter, then Life::Fungus, then
    Life, then Chemicals.

    This library, Class::ISA, provides functions that return that list --
    the list (in order) of names of classes Perl would search to find a
    method, with no duplicates.
