You don't actually need the first
1; line there, before the
package Bar; statement, though it's harmless. And number
1 is apperantly special as it doesn't generate useless constant in void warning, as other constants.
$ perl -c -we '1'
-e syntax OK
$ perl -c -we '3'
Useless use of a constant in void context at -e line 1.
-e syntax OK
$ perl -c -we '"OK"'
Useless use of a constant in void context at -e line 1.
-e syntax OK
I frankly wondered at first, but, fortunately
diagnostics has the fact:
This warning will not be issued for numerical constants equal to 0 or 1 since they are often used in statements like
1 while sub_with_side_effects();
String constants that would normally evaluate to 0 or 1 are warned about.
One more thing, if you really need Foo from Bar, you might consider to use
@ISA for
inheritance or
Exporter for importing Foo's symbols.
