Dear Monks,
I am facing some problems in compiling two modules which use one another and one of the module imports few methods exported by the other. You can find both modules below: 
#=======================================
# First.pm
package First;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Second;

use Exporter;
our @EXPORT_OK = qw(first_method);

sub first_method {
    print "Inside first_method\n";
}
#===================================================
# Second.pm
package Second;

use strict;
use warnings;

use First qw(first_method);

sub second_method {
    print "Inside second_method\n";
    first_method();
}
#===================================================

When I compile First.pm (perl -wc First.pm), the compiler after looking at the line "use Second" should start compiling Second.pm. By the time the compiler compiles the line "use First qw(first_method)", First was not compiled yet and therefore First's @EXPORT_OK will be empty. So, the compilation should fail saying that first_method not exported by First. But, the compilation succeeds. Why?

Regards,
- Praveen.

Edit: g0n - code tags
