Re: perl module creation problem

Apart from what Evan already said ... drop the BEGIN{...} and require Exporter. Unless you are doing something very very awkward with the @ISA, @EXPORT and @EXPORT_OK in the rest of your code, the BEGIN{...} is unnecessary.

It seems that `@EXPORT = qw( foo )` works in addition to `@EXPORT = qw( &foo )` for a function foo in the module. I didn't realize the "&" was required. Why does it still work without the "&"?	[reply]

Because most often you want to export subroutines and because most of the time whe you call subroutines you do not use the & either. So it's reasonable to write the module so that it exports the subroutine if you do not specify any sigil. Jenda Enoch was right! Enjoy the last years of Rome.	[reply]

Heh. So, it works because that's the way it ought to work :). Ok by me.	[reply]
