Re: One module to use them all (proxy moudle that exports subs of other modules)

I made a fairly complete solution to this problem with Exporter::Extensible.

package MyMod1;
use Exporter::Extensible -exporter_setup => 1;
sub foo :Export( :default ) { 42 }
[download]

package MyMod2;
use Exporter::Extensible -exporter_setup => 1;
sub bar :Export( :default ) { 43 }
[download]

package MyMod3;
use parent qw( MyMod1 MyMod2 );
[download]

perl -I. -MMyMod3 -E 'say foo'
[download]

However, I also recommend that you don't export things by default. It isn't much more to type use MyMod3 ':all'; and then it gives you more flexibility in the future to choose fewer imports.

package MyMod1;
use Exporter::Extensible -exporter_setup => 1;
sub foo :Export { 42 }
[download]

package MyMod2;
use Exporter::Extensible -exporter_setup => 1;
sub bar :Export { 43 }
[download]

package MyMod3;
use parent qw( MyMod1 MyMod2 );
[download]

perl -I. -MMyMod3=:all -E 'say foo'
[download]

However, I also recommend that you don't export things by default. This. Polluting other people's namespaces is just rude. That isn't the Perl way. Permit the import - don't enforce it. 🦛	[reply]
