# maybe_next_method

Tail-call the next implementation of the currently executing method if one exists; otherwise return quietly.

## Synopsis

sub DESTROY {
        my $self = shift;
        ...                      # cleanup
        $self->maybe::next::method;
    }

Equivalent to `$self->next::method(@_) if $self->next::can` in
the common case, but also works as the target of
`goto &maybe::next::method` where the conditional Perl form does
not. The usual reason to reach for it is a `DESTROY` or hook
method where missing parent implementations are normal.
