note tye <blockquote><i> Most style guides I work under ask for the full package name of external functions </i></blockquote><p> What an awful idea. Just being explicit about what you import from any module you [use] is a much better idea. @EXPORT is evil but @EXPORT_OK makes for easier-to-read/-write code and provides reasonable interface verification (at compile time, no less). [demerphq] already said all of this, but I just boggle at the sentence I quoted so I had to chime in against such insanity. </p> <div class="pmsig"><div class="pmsig-22609"><p align="right"> - [tye]<tt> &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</tt> </p></div></div> 376075 376599
