Erm, no. qw() is just a special form of quoting (see perlop on "Quote-like Operators") and has nothing to do with the exporting of subs. The calling of the loaded module's import method by use is what's making things visible in the current package name space, and it would work just the same had he said use Carp 'croak' or use Carp q/croak/. It's just convention to use some variant of qw// because it allows you to easily specify a list of names to be imported with one set of delimiters.</pedant>

Update: Added link and remark on quote-like ops.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
