Re: Any harm in not using Exporter at all in my procedural modules?

It'll prevent version checks of the form

use Foo '1.002';
[download]

but that's probably it. Note that the following form will work without Exporter:

use Foo 1.002;
[download]

Oh, that's very cool. If I put `our $VERSION = 1.002;` near the top of my module, and if I stick with floats everywhere for version numbers, then things work as expected. OTOH, if I use strings ('1.002' instead of 1.002), then things fail silently. Good to know. Thanks!	[reply]
