Description :
Heterogeneous recombination of Perl packages.
Given two (or more, I\'m a liberal guy) packages, Sex.pm will recombine
their symbols at random recombining them into the new module thus providing
a cross-section of its functions and global variables. It will also push
the parent classes onto the child\'s AATTISA array.
So you could do:
package Net::SFTP;
use Sex qw(Net::FTP Net::SSLeay);
And get a secure FTP client!
The recombination occurs in such a way to ensure that the child will
contain -all- the symbols of both parents. Should two (or more) parents
wish to bestow the same symbol on its child one will be chosen at random.
For example:
package DejaNews;
use Sex qw(LWP::Simple Net::NNTP);
LWP::Simple and Net::NNTP both have a head() function and thus they try to
give head() to their child. Sex.pm will suck the head() off either
LWP::Simple or Net::NNTP and stick it to DejaNews. Afterwards, DejaNews can
procede to finally use its head().
Here\'s another timely example for Sex in the 21st century:
package URI::Bot9000;
use Sex qw(URI LWP::RobotUA protected);
Because of the dire consequences of having sex with URI, one should make
sure you\'re well protected.
