NAME

       Perl::Critic::Policy::ClassHierarchies::ProhibitExplicitISA - Employ "use base" instead of
       "@ISA".

AFFILIATION

       This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution.

DESCRIPTION

       Conway recommends employing "use base qw(Foo)" instead of the usual "our @ISA = qw(Foo)"
       because the former happens at compile time and the latter at runtime.  The base pragma
       also automatically loads "Foo" for you so you save a line of easily-forgotten code.

CONFIGURATION

       This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.

NOTE

       Some people prefer parent over base.
