%define upstream_name Class-ISA %define upstream_version 0.36 Summary: Report the search path thru an ISA tree Name: perl-%{upstream_name} Version: %perl_convert_version %{upstream_version} Release: 16 License: GPLv2+ or Artistic Group: Development/Perl Url: http://search.cpan.org/dist/%{upstream_name} Source0: http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Class/%{upstream_name}-%{upstream_version}.tar.gz BuildArch: noarch BuildRequires: perl(Test) BuildRequires: perl-devel %description Suppose you have a class (like Food::Fish::Fishstick) that is derived, via its @ISA, from one or more superclasses (as Food::Fish::Fishstick is from Food::Fish, Life::Fungus, and Chemicals), and some of those superclasses may themselves each be derived, via its @ISA, from one or more superclasses (as above). When, then, you call a method in that class ($fishstick->calories), Perl first searches there for that method, but if it's not there, it goes searching in its superclasses, and so on, in a depth-first (or maybe "height-first" is the word) search. In the above example, it'd first look in Food::Fish, then Food, then Matter, then Life::Fungus, then Life, then Chemicals. This library, Class::ISA, provides functions that return that list -- the list (in order) of names of classes Perl would search to find a method, with no duplicates. %prep %setup -qn %{upstream_name}-%{upstream_version} %build %__perl Makefile.PL INSTALLDIRS=vendor %make %check %make test %install %makeinstall_std %files %doc README ChangeLog %{perl_vendorlib}/* %{_mandir}/man3/*
