If you want to make the constants available in the namespace that uses SPEAK::ITALIAN, you need to export them, just like you did with the sub hello:

@EXPORT = qw(hello HELLO GOODBYE);

Otherwise, you have to access them fully qualified:

print SPEAK::ITALIAN::GOODBYE . " in Italiano\n";

Update: or you could do it the OO way (via inheritance):

package SPEAK::ITALIAN; use strict; use warnings; use constant HELLO => "Hello"; use constant GOODBYE => "Goodbye"; sub new { my $class = shift; return bless {}, $class; } sub hello { print HELLO . " in Italiano\n"; } 1; # the derived class (SPEAK/ITALIAN/Goodbye.pm) package SPEAK::ITALIAN::Goodbye; use strict; use warnings; use base "SPEAK::ITALIAN"; sub goodbye { my $self = shift; print $self->GOODBYE . " in Italiano\n"; } 1; # your script #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use SPEAK::ITALIAN::Goodbye; my $obj = SPEAK::ITALIAN::Goodbye->new(); $obj->hello(); $obj->goodbye();

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.
