=head1 NAME

base - Establish IS-A relationship with base classes at compile time

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    package Baz;
    use base qw(Foo Bar);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

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

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

If any of the listed modules are not loaded yet, I<base> silently attempts to
C<require> them (and silently continues if the C<require> failed).  Whether to
C<require> a base class module is determined by the absence of a global variable
$VERSION in the base package.  If $VERSION is not detected even after loading
it, <base> will define $VERSION in the base package, setting it to the string
C<-1, set by base.pm>.

Will also initialize the fields if one of the base classes has it.
Multiple inheritence of fields is B<NOT> supported, if two or more
base classes each have inheritable fields the 'base' pragma will
croak.  See L<fields>, L<public> and L<protected> for a description of
this feature.

=head1 DIAGNOSTICS

=over 4

=item Base class package "%s" is empty.

base.pm was unable to require the base package, because it was not
found in your path.

=back

=head1 HISTORY

This module was introduced with Perl 5.004_04.


=head1 CAVEATS

Due to the limitations of the implementation, you must use
base I<before> you declare any of your own fields.
