Re: Help with import of module

[choroba]

If you want to use subroutine names as barewords, you have to declare them in the compilation phase, i.e. through use or in a BEGIN block. Otherwise, just add the parentheses around the subroutine's arguments.

In case someone googles this, here is how I fixed it

if (eval { require IO::Compress::Gzip } ) {
    use subs qw (gzip);
    use vars qw ($GzipError);
    IO::Compress::Gzip -> import ( qw (gzip $GzipError) );
    $status = gzip "${FileName}" => "${FileName}.gz" or _error "gzip f
+ailed: $GzipError\n";
}
else {
    system qq[gzip -c ${FileName} > ${FileName}.gz];
}
