Thanks for your feedback. I read through and tried to understand as much as I could about Exporter (which I obviously didn't understand as well as I thought I did). One of my learning traits is that I learn by doing, not by reading. So, it's sometimes difficult to understand a lot of the PODs I read (especially since programming is relatively new to me). I usually try to read them over and over again, and several I have printed out so I can flip back and forth (i.e., CGI.pm, HTML::Template). I am not complaining, whining, or having a pity party of one, mind you. Since I learn by doing and not by reading (and I'm not a big fan of cargo-cult programming because that will invariably bite me in the arse when I have to go back and maintain this stuff), I sometimes get things confused. I like to try to figure out the basics of something as best I can by reading, then tinker with it to gain a better, fuller understanding of what it is I'm playing with. Of course, this means I'll probably post more questions that clearly indicate I have something bass-ackwards, and need to be flipped around or upside down so they're correct. Your explanation of what the Exporter module does, combined with what I read in the POD, makes it clearer to me now how Exporter works. Most PODS (rightly) assume a better, more well-rounded programming knowledge than I currently possess, and I look forward to feeling like a movie star when all those lightbulbs inevitably go off and I begin to pull it all together in my brain. :-D Thanks again for taking the time to flip me to the correct position! Lori (strapping herself more tightly into her harness for further flipping)
