It is a
method, so the 1st argument will be the package/
class name ;)
C:\>perldoc -f import
import There is no builtin "import" function. It is just an ordinary
method (subroutine) defined (or inherited) by modules that wish
to export names to another module. The "use" function calls the
"import" method for the package used. See also "use", perlmod,
and Exporter.
jacques (or anyone wanting to learn about modules) should
read `
perldoc -f perlmod' and the documentation it references.
