I was trying to implement a private class method in a little project I was working on. After thinking about the problem, I came up with the following solution:
package MyClass;
use Exporter;
use strict;
use vars qw/ @EXPORT @EXPORT_FAIL /;
@EXPORT = qw/ public_method /;
@EXPORT_FAIL = qw/ private_method /;
sub new {
# bless reference ...
}
sub public_method {
# ... do public stuff including calling private_method
}
sub private_method {
# ... do stuff only class things should know
}
Will the Exporter prevent someone from calling my private_method but still allow them to call the public_method?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
