It doesn't matter. What happens is:
  1. Some other module or program uses your module.
  2. During its compilation, the perl compiler encounters "use Module1";
  3. This triggers your module to get compiled; while doing so, Module2 and Module3 will get compiled (if not already compiled). Module2->import and Module3->import will be called.
  4. Your module will run. First thing it does is to compile Exporter (if it hasn't been compiled already).
  5. Then Module1->import is called (assuming that other module or program uses "use Module1"). Which means Exporter::import is called.
  6. Exporter::import exports fn1 and fn2 to the calling module or program.
  7. Perl will resume compiling the calling module or program.
It doesn't matter where you place 'require Exporter'.

I've never understood why people use the idiom 'require Exporter'. I never do. 'use Exporter();' also compiles Exporter without calling import.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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.
