All,
I've inherited some old code, and after moving it to a
perl 5.8.5 environment from a perl 5.6.1 environment,
I'm getting the following compilation error "Can't
multiply inherit %FIELDS".
Googling hasn't really helped me out much, I can't see
any fields being declared twice in the inheritance
tree. The only thing I have found is that the code
which fails to compile inherits from 2 classes. Both
of those 2 classes inherit from the same common class.
e.g.
package A;
use base qw (C1 C2);
=========
package C1;
use base qw (X);
=========
package C2;
use base qw (X);
I found that if I commented out the use base line in
either C1 or C2 then A compiles ok.
I did another test, I added X to A's Base:-
package A;
use base qw (C1 C2 X);
Expecting this to also fail to compile, but it doesn't
it works.... Even though C1 or C2 still uses X as a
base....
So, Its 2am and I'm a little confused,
Does anybody have any ideas?
Regards
Marty
