Be aware. If you don't deliberately arrange the code in a weird order, it works just fine. That is, if your modules are loaded before the code that uses them, as in you have use Your::Module;, or even just ensure that the modules are compiled before the code that uses them, then the problem does not arise:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings;
use strict;
package Foo;
sub new {
return bless {},shift;
}
sub hello {
print "hello";
}
package main;
sub new {
print "haha";
return;
}
my $a = new Foo;
$a->hello;
__END__
C:\test>junk2
hello
Just another example of the over-zealous promotion of a rare scenario, that by-the-by, provides clear and unambiguous diagnostics, into a "thou shalt not" that throws the baby out with the bath water. Just another justifiction.
Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.
"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".
In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
