Re^2: Use, Exporter, I'm Dizzy.

Just a question to your answer - is there something wrong with this form?

package MyTest;

use strict;
use warnings;

use base qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT_OK = qw(testroutine);

# Rest of the code here
...

In other words, does BEGIN form have any advantage over use base?

You pretend there's an is-a relationship where there isn't one. That won't work if two modules include each other. Newer versions of Exporter recognize the first point and allow you to do `package MyTest; use strict; use warnings; BEGIN { our @EXPORT_OK = qw( testroutine ); } use Exporter qw( import ); # Rest of the code here ...` [download] The `BEGIN` is there to address the second point.
