I have an app that runs perfectly on our servers that have 5.10. This multiple inheritance use base "myFile" is fine on those servers. I'm running on MAC Yosemite and and running 5.18 perl and Apachie Billys-MacBook-Pro:Perl bpatto$ httpd -v Server version: Apache/2.4.10 (Unix) Server built: May 19 2015 09:36:36 My app times out when I have my use base. Here's an example : cp.cgi : use CP; CP.pm use base "Base"; Base.pm use base 'CGI::Application'; I replaced the above with the below and it goes through this part with no problem. BEGIN { if ($] lt '5.18') { use base 'CGI::Application'; } else { use parent 'CGI::Application'; } } In several go the perl modules that get loaded from cpan they still use 'use base ".."' >From perldoc base I get this : DESCRIPTION Unless you are using the "fields" pragma, consider this module discouraged in favor of the lighter-weight "parent". I've been able to follow my cgi down to the CGI::Application before it gets the time out.
