NAME
    superclass - Like parent, but with version checks

VERSION
    version 0.003

SYNOPSIS
        package Baz;
        use superclass qw(Foo Bar), 'Baz' => 1.23;

DESCRIPTION
    Allows you to both load one or more modules, while setting up
    inheritance from those modules at the same time.

    If a module in the import list is followed by something that doesn't
    look like a legal module name, the "VERSION" method will be called with
    it as an argument;

    The synopsis example is mostly similar in effect to

        package Baz;
        BEGIN {
            require Foo;
            require Bar;
            require Baz;
            Baz->VERSION(1.23)
            push @ISA, qw(Foo Bar Baz);
        }

    Dotted-decimal versions should be given as a string, not a raw v-string,
    and must include at least one decimal point.

        use superclass 'Bar' => v65.65.65; # BAD: loads AAA.pm

        use superclass 'Bar' => 'v6';      # BAD: loads v6.pm

        use superclass 'Foo' => 'v0.10.0'; # OK

    If the first import argument is "-norequire", no files will be loaded
    (but any versions given will still be checked).

    This is helpful for the case where a package lives within the current
    file or a differently named file:

      package MyHash;
      use Tie::Hash;
      use superclass -norequire, 'Tie::StdHash';

DIAGNOSTICS
    Class 'Foo' tried to inherit from itself
        Attempting to inherit from yourself generates a warning.

            package Foo;
            use superclass 'Foo';

HISTORY
    This module was forked from parent to add version checks. The parent
    module was forked from base to remove the cruft that had accumulated in
    it.

    Schwern
