=head1 SYNOPSIS
package Baz;
-
use base qw(Foo Bar);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
push @ISA, qw(Foo Bar);
}
+Will also initialize the %FIELDS hash if one of the base classes has
+it. Multiple inheritance of %FIELDS is not supported. The 'base'
+pragma will croak if multiple base classes has a %FIELDS hash. See
+L<fields> for a description of this feature.
+
+When strict 'vars' is in scope I<base> also let you assign to @ISA
+without having to declare @ISA with the 'vars' pragma first.
+
This module was introduced with Perl 5.004_04.

=head1 DESCRIPTION
-The C<fields> pragma enables compile-time verified class fields.
+The C<fields> pragma enables compile-time verified class fields. It
+does so by updating the %FIELDS hash in the calling package.
+
+If a typed lexical variable holding a reference is used to access a
+hash element and the %FIELDS hash of the given type exists, then the
+operation is turned into an array access at compile time. The %FIELDS
+hash map from hash element names to the array indices. If the hash
+element is not present in the %FIELDS hash, then a compile-time error
+is signaled.
+
+Since the %FIELDS hash is used at compile-time, it must be set up at
+compile-time too. This is made easier with the help of the 'fields'
+and the 'base' pragma modules. The 'base' pragma will copy fields
+from base classes and the 'fields' pragma adds new fields. Field
+names that start with an underscore character are made private to a
+class and are not visible to subclasses. Inherited fields can be
+overridden but will generate a warning if used together with the -w
+option.
+
+The effect of all this is that you can have objects with named fields
+which are as compact and as fast arrays too access. This only works
+as long as the objects are accessed through properly typed variables.
+For untyped access to work you have to make sure that a reference to
+the proper %FIELDS hash is assigned to the 0'th element of the array
+object (so that the objects can be treated like an AVHV). A
+constructor like this does the job:
+
+ sub new
+ {
+ my $class = shift;
+ no strict 'refs';
+ my $self = bless [\%{"$class\::FIELDS"], $class;
+ $self;
+ }
