Re^2: Using sub routines or AUTOLOAD for XS constants

Sub::Exporter uses can? That's a bug. can is for methods, and it makes no sense to export methods.

`can` is for methods... I agree in principle, but what's the difference in practice between a method and a function, at least when you're groveling through a package's symbol table? There's likely a bug lurking in Sub::Exporter here as well, if it ever tries to export an inherited function.	[reply] [d/l]

It means there's a hole (false positives) in the error checking the author apparently desires, and it probably allows it to export inherited subs are a result.	[reply]
