in reply to Preventing Circular References in Modules
We know that we cannot just put use B; in Package A AND use A; in Package B
In general, that is incorrect.
$ cat AAA.pm package AAA; use warnings; use strict; use Exporter 'import'; BEGIN { our @EXPORT = qw/aaa/ } use BBB; sub aaa { print "I am aaa()\n"; bbb(0) if shift; } 1; $ cat BBB.pm package BBB; use warnings; use strict; use Exporter 'import'; BEGIN { our @EXPORT = qw/bbb/ } use AAA; sub bbb { print "I am bbb()\n"; aaa(0) if shift; } 1; $ cat test.pl #!/usr/bin/env perl use warnings; use strict; use AAA; use BBB; aaa(1); bbb(1); $ perl test.pl I am aaa() I am bbb() I am bbb() I am aaa() $
Why is it that package B can use package A subroutines without using use A;
Maybe because the subroutines are getting pulled into B in some other way?
Both of your questions are unclear without some short sample code that reproduces the issue.
