Re: How do I make one package use a module from another package?

If I understand this right, you want to export unsolicited names into the caller's namespace. The code below(untested) should work:

#Caller program
use GIVEMEJUNK;
[download]

The GIVEMEJUNK module can be written as:

package GIVEMEJUNK;
my @importfrom = qw(DBI Acme::Code::Police ...);
# List of modules you want to get stuff from.

foreach(@importfrom){
  use $_;
   #Export everything we get from each module
  push @EXPORT, $_::@EXPORT;
}
1;
[download]

It can be written that way. It doesn't work, however, at least not in 5.8.0. on linux. -- for no disclaimer. Update: Ooops, it did say "(untested)". --Bob Niederman, http://bob-n.com	[reply]
