Re: use base 'Foo' or die!

Of course, qw isn't the only way of passing more than one argument to a module. The use Module statement takes a list. So,

    use Foo 'bar', 'baz';
[download]

is just fine. The qw is just something "everyone" does. But not all the time. There is at least one module (which takes more than one argument) where "noone" uses qw for the argument list.

I'll make it a quiz question: can you guess which module that is?

strict? People tend to do: `use strict 'refs'; no strict 'refs';` [download] As a (mild) style rule I try not to write `use Module qw(foo)` when I mean `use Module 'foo'` but I'm sure I've done it in the past. `:-)` -- John.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Maybe, but that wasn't the module I was thinking of. The module I'm thinking of is used more commonly. Abigail	[reply]

overload? UPDATE Though you say a common module... you probably mean constant? Cheerio! Osfameron http://osfameron.perlmonk.org/chickenman/	[reply]

Just shows how fluid definitions can be. Constant is a common module for me, since I use it it about 75 percent of my production code. I just realized that I was using the same sig for nearly three years.	[reply]

Could it be constant?	[reply]

Indeed. I was thinking of `constant`. Abigail	[reply] [d/l]

I'll make it a quiz question: can you guess which module that is? strict and warnings. Possibly less too :) Juerd - http://juerd.nl/ - spamcollector_perlmonks@juerd.nl (do not use).	[reply]

When I said that the module takes more than argument, I meant that you were supposed to give at least two arguments. 'strict' and 'warnings' are often used without any arguments. Abigail	[reply]
