Re: Re: packages and Exporter

Why would you insert the use strict; after the package instead of before it? What are the advantages of this?

Why would you insert the use strict; after the package instead of before it? What are the advantages of this? Why not? :-) The issue isn't whether the strict declaration is before/after the package declaration. The issue is ensuring that the declaration of the package globals doesn't cause a error when strict is being used. Using an explicit package name is one method. Using `use vars` or `our` are two others.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
