If Net::FTP::Recursive inherits from Net::FTP and is well behaved (and
yes, it does, and yes it is) then it will inherit all of the methods of
the parent class.
Note that a landmine lurks here -- One cannot assume that
Some::Random::Class::Variant
inherits from
Some::Random::Class
just because of the similarty in names -- inheritance in Perl is
implemented through a package-global called @__PACKAGE__::ISA.
Reading the fine manual will usually say if something inherits from
something else. Failing that an examination of the source will
elucidate.
