Re^3: Problem with "use Exporter qw(import);"

I'm partial to writing this using goto, which lets us defer the loading of Exporter until we actually need it.

  sub import { require Exporter; goto &Exporter::import }

Caveat - you actually want to pre-load Exporter when using mod_perl and similar persistent architectures. Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing. Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid. Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence. Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.	[reply]
