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.
