Hi qhen,

...so why on earth should I bother with Exporter anyway?...

Maybe you should take a look at Exporter to start with.

Secondly, just like Corion said, I would re-frame, except on purpose ( and you really know what you want and what you are doing ), I will advice you don't export anything when doing OO in Perl.

You probably want to take a look into modern ways of doing OOP in Perl using Moose and it's cousins.
You might also want to look into perlootut and perlobj

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.
