Re^3: Package declaration in code block

If you're posting example code, it's useful for everything to be in one self-contained example file, so that people can just copy and paste it into their editor and run it, rather than them having to create a directory called Foo and make a file in there called Bar.pm and paste some code in there, and then create another folder called Boo and make a file in there called Far.pm and paste more code in there, and then...

use Moops; class Cow :rw { has name => (default => 'Ermintrude') }; say Cow->new->name

I was wondering if there is a reason to do so in a package per file. Probably obedience to some style guide :) Or proper laziness -- if copy/paste works, why edit to unindent...	[reply]
