I have a question about the use of the Exporter module. Why wouldn't you want to use it all the time? I understand that there may be conflict if you have two subroutines in two packages that have the same name. However, if you know this is not the case why wouldn't you use the module. It's easier to simply call suborutines without using the Package->sub format. Another bonus is that the class name is not passed to the subroutine.
In other words you don't have to use this in your subroutines.. 
my ($class,$othervars)=@_;

Is it more memory efficient to call the subroutines using the Package->sub format instead of just importing them all using the Exporter module?
Thanks.
