Re^2: converting libraries into modules

[Courage]

although using Exporter is suggested by, say, h2xs, I think using Exporter isn't a good habbit.
Its not good to pollute namespace.

Using package::utilname(...); $utlobject->utl_method(...); is flexible enough and no real need to save few keystrokes by not pointing package name, and risking to have naming conflict later....

Also, extra dependency on Exporter, and many extra lines in your template to introduce Exporter, do not worth the effort.

While I agree with you from a purity perspective, Exporter exists specifically to make the transition between P4 repositories and P5 libraries easier. In other words, Exporter is the exact right tool in this situation.

Now, if the OP wants, we can educate him on better software practices later. But, for now, this solves the OP's problem to a 't'.

I agree, although I do not know what ...solves the OP's problem to a 't'. means :):)
