Oh, to be a monk of high enough ranking to edit your post and add the <code> tags so it would be readable... Regardless...I'll try and help. You did tell perl that Fleece.pm exports things, by:

use Exporter;
[download]

But nowhere do you tell it *what* to export.

@EXPORT = qw( $fleece );
[download]

Or better:

@EXPORT_OK = qw( $fleece );
[download]

This would be slightly better since users would have to specifically ask for $fleece to get it:

use Fleece qw( $fleece );
[download]

It's considered good form to not clutter of someone's namespace recklessly. I'd suggest a read of the Exporter Documentation would help you understand all this a little better. HTH, Jeff

• 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.
