Hey all, I hope you've all had/are having a wonderful holiday!

I'm having a Rubber Duck Debugging moment here... I am using @EXPORT_OK to export my public functions within a module, and all are available through an :all tag, but for my test suite, I want to have an extra tag that exports a few of my private functions as well, but can't seem to be able to import them. Here's what I've got:

Module:

package MyPackage;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Exporter qw(import);
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT_OK = qw(
    func_one
    func_two
);
our @EXPORT_PRIVATE = qw(
    _private_one
    _private_two
);
our %EXPORT_TAGS = (
    all     => \@EXPORT_OK,
    private => \@EXPORT_PRIVATE,
)

Test script:

use warnings;
use strict;

use MyPackage qw(:all :private);

...

[download]

When I run the script, I get:

"_private_one" is not exported by the MyModule module
"_private_two" is not exported by the MyModule module
Can't continue after import errors at ... line ....
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ... line ...

I *thought* I'd done this before, but it turns out although I have other modules that have multiple tags, I've only ever tried to import one at a time, not multiple at once.

I'm sure I'm just having a brain fart moment here. Could someone please point out what I'm missing, or is this importing of multiple tags something that isn't available and I'm just finding out now?

Cheers,

Update: I just thought of something... I suppose I could insert the @EXPORT_OK array into the @EXPORT_PRIVATE one and then simply import the :private tag by itself, but now I'm curious as to whether that's the only way forward or not.
