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.
"Too many [] have been sedated by an oppressive environment of political correctness and risk aversion."
