Re: Perl too smart require()ing libs

You can use pl2pm to convert your Perl4-style .pl library files to Perl5-style library modules.

Create Foo.pm and Bar.pm:

$ pl2pm foo.pl bar.pl
[download]

Rewrite ExampleClass.pm:

#ExampleClass.pm
package ExampleClass;

use lib '.';
use Bar;
use Foo qw/can_i_see_you/;

sub new {
    my $class = shift;
    bless {}, $class;
}

sub does_work {
   can_i_see_you();
}

1;
[download]

$ perl -w runme.pl
You can see me!
[download]

I attempted this just to see what the resulting pm would look like but pl2pm choked on the library. Thanks for the suggestion though. -- Clayton	[reply]
