( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

1. If the module in question inherits its import() subroutine from the Exporter.pm you are right you do not lose anything. If on the other hand the module has its own import(), you may get a nasty surprise. The module may expect it's import() to be called.

2. While MyModule::foo(); doesn't sound too bad, but imagine you'd have to prepend each and every constant with the package name:

my $Array = Win32::OLE::Variant->new(VT_ARRAY|VT_R8, [1,2], 2); vs. my $Array = Win32::OLE::Variant->new(Win32::OLE::Variant::VT_ARRAY|Win +32::OLE::Variant::VT_R8, [1,2], 2);
I think you are exagerating. Also ... keep in mind that the more text you write, the more likely it is that you make a mistake. It's more likely to mistype Win32::FileOp::Delete(... than Delete(....

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
