I have a module which was working great when it was in the same directory as my script. Recently I tried to organize things and put the module in a subdirectory, but the functions are no longer being exported to main::
Originally, I could use test; and then just call min().
After moving the file to lib/test.pm, I use lib::test, and min(); no longer works; I had to say test::min();
What have I done wrong here, and how can I get my functions exported while the module is in a subdirectory?
test.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
#use test;
use lib::test;
#print min(5, undef, 10, 3);
print test::min(5, undef, 10, 3);
#test.pm
lib/test.pm
package test;
use Exporter 'import';
our @EXPORT = qw (min);
sub min
{
my $best;
foreach my $item ( @_ )
{
$best = $item if not defined ($best) or (defined($item) and $i
+tem < $best);
}
return $best;
}
(Treating undef as zero wasn't convenient. This ignores undefs and returns the smallest defined value)

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).
