G'day Dirk80,

You may already be aware of this, but in case not, I thought I'd point out that your import routine will not be called if your module is loaded like this:

use My::Test ();
[download]

See the use function, in particular:

"... there is a distinction between omitting LIST (import called with no arguments) and an explicit empty LIST () (import not called)."

It's possible that you have an "XY Problem" here. If you provided some information about the specific problem you're trying to solve, we may be able to offer other (better) solutions.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
