Inheritance in Object Oriented Perl

Damian Conway, Object Oriented Perl, p. 169:

    Inheritance in Perl ... means nothing more than:  if you can't find
    the method requested in an object's blessed class, look for it in the 
    classes that the blessed class inherits from.

Put even more simply: If you can't find it here, this is how you find it.
