This method returns a list of the available subclasses for the package. It does this by looking in C<@INC> as well as the directory containing the caller, and finding any modules in the immediate subdirectories of the calling module. So if you have the modules "Foo::Base", "Foo::Base::Bar", and "Foo::Base::Baz", then the return value of C<< Foo::Base->subclasses() >> would be "Bar" and "Baz". =head1 SUPPORT Please submit bugs to the CPAN RT system at http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=class-factory-util or via email at bug-class-factory-util@rt.cpan.org. =head1 AUTHOR Dave Rolsky, .
