    in c++ when you create a superclass and subclass, there is some way
    you can define the superclass such that it has an empty/undefined
    method. any children of this class are required to both have and
    define this method. i wish i could remember what this is called...

    for ex:

    parent-class:
    sub do_something() {
    }

    child-class 1:
    sub do_something(){
      x++;
    }

    child-class 2:
    sub do_something(){
      x--;
    }

    anyway, is there a comparable thing in perl? it would be useful
    atm...

    TIA,
