Re^3: How to pass an argument to a Module?

Does anyone know how to use this IMPORT block properly?

Presumably the author. Seeing how the module never tests this IMPORT block business (Perl6-Export-Attrs-0.0.3/t/00.load.t), I would complain to the author.

You can probably get away with writing sub IMPORT {}, cause that works for BEGIN/END/... also

The author's response (i tried it and it works, with sub IMPORT) : This is not a bug in the module. The problem is that you specified: `sub subr :Export(:DEFAULT) { return "subr() was called\n"; }` [download] :DEFAULT exports are only exported when the module is use'd with no arguments at all. But then you call: `use Mod3 'argument';` [download] with an argument, so the :DEFAULT exports don't happen. You could fix this by specifying: `sub subr :Export(:MANDATORY) { return "subr() was called\n"; }` [download] (assuming you always want subr() exported). If not, then you need to specifically request subr(), like this: `use Mod3 '&subr', 'argument';` [download] or request all the defaults, like this: `use Mod3 ':DEFAULT', 'argument';` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`IMPORT{ print "inside the IMPORT block, with arguments @_\n"; }` [download] works but does the same thing as when i override import() : my subroutines are not exported to the symbol table. I'll write to the author.	[reply] [d/l]
