Re^2: How relevant is the order of 'use's ?

yesss.... Your response, as well the previous one, gave the right direction.

The defined import function is *not* OK. Replacing it with something closer to what Exporter does seems to solve the problem:

package Demo2;

sub import {
    #${[caller]->[0].'::'}{$_} = ${__PACKAGE__."::"}{$_}
    *{[caller]->[0].'::'.$_} = \&{__PACKAGE__."::$_"}
        foreach grep { not /^(ISA|isa|BEGIN|import|Dumper)$/ } 
                      keys %{__PACKAGE__."::"};
}

use constant { 
    SUCCESS                          => 0,
};

1;

Now I just have to understand how come that it works :)

Actually I think you can do even simpler/easier to read: `use Exporter; use base qw/Exporter/; our %constants; BEGIN { push @ISA, 'EXPORTER'; %constants = (SUCCESS => 1); @EXPORT = map "&$_", keys %constants; } use constant \%constants;` [download] Since I guess your goal is to export all the constants in Demo2 without having to provide the list of names twice. And with the & appended to each name, there's no risk of overwriting $SUCCESS;	[reply] [d/l]
