Re: Module's name and file's name

Could you explain me ?

The way Perl is "wired" when you have

use HR;  # using your example
[download]

it checks all the directories in @INC for a file named "HR.pm" and isn't going to look in "MyModule.pm"

Hello, Thank you. I know. That's why I use : `use MyModule;` That way, Perl finds the file "MyModule.pm". But the the module's name is "HR" (as declared after "package"), not "MyModule". I think that it messes up something. I may be wrong. What do you think ? Thank you.	[reply] [d/l]

I think that it messes up something. It messes up clarity for the hacker who inherits your code. :P	[reply]
