On a related note, you might also want to take a look at CLOS (the Common
Lisp Object System) where it talks about method selection. They've got a
pretty clear and general model that describes every im

I think you meant "colon optional". The semi-colon is, I think, a syntax
error. You need the yada-yada-yada thing: "{...}".
But I agree with the main point you were wanting to make

A "use POSIX" statement is causing Devel::Cover to issue a warning.
I've seen it both on Linux (RH7.3/Perl 5.6.1) and Cygwin (Win2K/Perl
5.8.0). Has anyone investigated it?

The issue is metadata. How do you declare a class' inheritance
