note tobyink <p>But "use" requires the package to be defined in an appropriately named separate file. If the Debug package is defined in the same file as Transcode_plug, then it needs to be <c>import</c>.</p> <p>It might be a good idea to do the <c>import</c> in a <c>BEGIN</c> block though, to ensure it happens at the same stage that <c>use</c> would have done it.</p> <p>The other alternative (as discussed in another thread recently) would be for the Debug package to include the following line:</p> <code>BEGIN { $INC{+__PACKAGE__}=__FILE__ }</code> <p>This will allow Transcode_plug to <c>use Debug</c> even though Debug isn't defined in a separate file.</p> <!-- Node text goes above.
