#NAME

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

#AFFILIATION

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

#DESCRIPTION

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

The original version of this policy recommended base instead of parent, which is now obsolete.

#CONFIGURATION

This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options.
