Re^4: 1 Object 2 Files

That has not been my experience:

$ cat Foo.pm
package Bar;

1;
$ perl -e 'use Foo;'
$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.5 built for i686-linux

Huh. Learn something new every day. :-) I could have sworn this didn't work, but I tried it out on Perls back to 5.005_02 and it works just fine. Thanks for the lesson. :-) 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]
