Hi Monks,

this is really one of the moments I would like to change my
profession (or hobby for that matter). It all started with
imported symbols being undefined (for no visible reason). So
I striped it down until I have nearly verbatim the example of
the camel book.

File 1:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Test qw(dummy);

#print $config{path};

&dummy;

[download]
File 2:

package Test;

use strict;
use Exporter;

my %config = (
          lexpath => '/home/rj/proj/elric/lexika/',
          silence => 0,
          );

@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT_OK = qw(dummy);

BEGIN { }

sub dummy {
    print "aha";
}

END { }

1;

[download]
And now for the fun. Perl 5.6.0 on my Linux Box says (it didnīt
before):

rj@proxima:~/proj/elric/src > test.pl
"dummy" is not exported by the Test module at ./test.pl line 4
Can't continue after import errors at ./test.pl line 4
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ./test.pl line 4.
And that was it. Iīd gladly pull my hair if I had any left.
I donīt see the error. I tried to export %config
but to no avail. Do you have more insight?

Ciao
