NAME

       Class::MixinFactory::NEXT - Superclass method redispatch for mixins

SYNOPSIS

         use Class::MixinFactory::NEXT;

         package My::BaseClass;
         sub foo { return "Foo Bar" }

         package My::Logging;
         sub foo { warn "Calling foo"; (shift)->NEXT('foo', @_) }

         package My::MixedClass;
         @ISA = ( 'My::Logging', 'My::BaseClass', 'Class::MixinFactory::NEXT'; );

         package main;
         print My::MixedClass->foo();

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.

   Public Methods
       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.

SEE ALSO

       This class is automatically included by Class::MixinFactory.

       This is similar to the functionality provided by NEXT::ACTUAL, but without using AUTOLOAD;
       for a more generalized approach to this issue see NEXT.
