Re^2: RFC: Net::SNTP::Client v1

Hello toolic,

Thank you for your time and effort reading and reviewing my proposed module. I will read as you suggest the Pod and I will update accordingly. The reason That I am having two use inside the sub is that I am trying to utilize minimum possible RAM memory, since the moment that you call a module it is loaded in the memory (correct?).

Hmmm I did not even thought about it:

You should consider adding some checks on the inputs to your getSNTPTime sub.

Good idea.

I don't think that is correct. From use:

Because use takes effect at compile time, it doesn't respect the ordinary flow control of the code being compiled. In particular, putting a use inside the false branch of a conditional doesn't prevent it from being processed.

Note for future: use applies only to the current scope in Perl 6.

Done ;)

If you require them instead of use them, then the module will only be loaded when you need them.

For example, a number of CPAN module use the following as "front ends" to Carp so Carp is only loaded is needed.

sub _carp
{
    require Carp;
    Carp::carp(@_);
}
sub _croak
{
    require Carp;
    Carp::croak(@_);
}

Hello RonW,

Thank you for your time and effort reading/reviewing my code.

Nice tip, I was not aware of it. :D
