Description

I agree adding the other two paragraphs from upstream description would help a lot: 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. The description is trying to explain you classes and superclasses on an example, which is more than most of man pages do. I can add another two paragraphs from description if it's any help http://search.cpan.org/dist/Class-ISA/lib/Class/ISA.pm Would it solve your problem? How about just the third paragraph rephrased: | Class::ISA provides functions that return the list (in order) of names of (super-)classes Perl would search to find a method, with no duplicates. Changed to: This library provides functions that return the list (in order) of names of (super-)classes Perl would search to find a method, with no duplicates. perl-Class-ISA-0.36-1007.fc17 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 17. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/perl-Class-ISA-0.36-1007.fc17 Package perl-Class-ISA-0.36-1007.fc17: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 17 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing perl-Class-ISA-0.36-1007.fc17' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-5866/perl-Class-ISA-0.36-1007.fc17 then log in and leave karma (feedback). Thanks. Unfortunately I noticed just now that I filed the bug against F17 instead of F16. Could this patch of uttermost importance be backported there as well? :-) (In reply to comment #7) > Thanks.
