Don't forget the arcane 'unimport' routine that is called when you use 'no' instead of 'use'.

It's good for making subroutines and constants have no-op or undefined values, so that code which calls the module doesn't have to worry about breaking in strict mode.

This only works for modules that have an unimport subroutine defined, though.

Carp::Asset is a good example:

  no Carp::Assert; # change to use to enable

  assert( 0 ), if DEBUG;

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.
