Exporter's a bit heavy compared to small programs. Why does that show up in BEGIN blocks in your code? Well...
$ bleadperl -MO=Deparse package SE::Util::Func; use Exporter; @ISA = ('Exporter'); @EXPORT= qw( SE_cat SE_dump SE_getName SE_getValue SE_isTag ); require 5.6.1; use strict;
produces:
package SE::Util::Func; @ISA = 'Exporter'; @EXPORT = ('SE_cat', 'SE_dump', 'SE_getName', 'SE_getValue', 'SE_isTag +'); require 5.006001; sub SE::Util::Func::BEGIN { package SE::Util::Func; require Exporter; do { 'Exporter'->import }; } sub SE::Util::Func::BEGIN { package SE::Util::Func; require strict; do { 'strict'->import }; }
