in reply to Fixing nits with $object->can($method);

Frequently when writing classes we might import (knowingly or otherwise) functions to help our class, but we don't want people to rely on them or, for that matter, to call them.

Except, of course, when we do ;-) I often use import as a poor man's mixin.

    I tend to think of it more like a poor man's trait.

      Indeed. All depends on your definition of trait and mixing ;-)
