You mean if two modules export functions with the same name? In that case you'll have problems no matter what the order though, right? Fortunately I haven't encountered that problem before myself, but the possibility is just one more reason to use warnings. :^)

    I'm quibbling over whether to be a fan of use warnings FATAL => 'all'; which would ensure you didn't do that by accident.

    Ofcourse you are in trouble but the order in which use is used determines which function is actually used.
