Class::MixinFactory::NEXT - Superclass method redispatch for mixins
Contents
Description
Enhanced superclass method dispatch for use inside mixin class methods. Allows mixin classes to
redispatch to other classes in the inheritance tree without themselves inheriting from anything.
PublicMethods
This package defines one method, named NEXT.
$callee->NEXT( $method, @args );
Searches the inheritance tree of the callee until it finds the package from which NEXT is being called,
and then continues searching until the next class which can perform the named method.
Unlike SUPER, this method will backtrack down the inheritance tree to find implementations later in the
search path even if they are on a separate branch.
