in thread Can I retry "use" when module load fail ?

You missed the "import" part noted in Athanasius's post.

    I noticed... but why? I have nothing to do with import. I already used Exporter to export my stuffs. so if use is identical to BEGIN {require...}, then that should be no problem sub import{} never existed in my module, and then I won't call it. What's the difference?

      Actually, you DO need to call the "import" method, in order to inject the "exported" methods and variables into your (main) namespace.

      Exporter documentation explains this :

      The Exporter module implements an import method which allows a module to export functions and variables to its users' namespaces.

        So you mean even I don't have sub import in my module, but I still have to call ->import() for once after my require statement, so that Exporter can export?
