Re^2: Why " subroutined redefined" warning comes?

Obviously Spinner.pm is exporting the function into the MAIN namespace. Stop it exporting, then you can do:

use Spinner.pm;

for (1 .. 1000) {
    Spinner::spin();
}

sub spin {
    print "i am the second spin() sub\n";
}

and you don't have a duplicate. Depending on the internals of Spinner, you may be able to do:

use Spinner();

to stop it importing into the MAIN namespace.

Ahhhh... learned something new, thanks to your reply. So, yes, I want Spinner to export the spin() function, to save me from having to do Spinner::spin(), but now I know why I have it that way, and what to change if I decide not to export it. You've also shown us a different way to keep the subs separate, if need be. Thanks!	[reply]

An option if you don't import it is to alias it to another name in your package. `use Spinner (); local *s_pin = \&Spinner::spin; s_pin(); spin();` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
