( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

By best, I suppose I really mean transparent. I have a module SomeModule.pm, which exports a function, ed(). It also has some helper methods that call ed(), as it does all the heavy lifting.

Now I have Inline::C code for ed() (added to the end of SomeModule.pm) and i'd like for the Inline::C ed() function to be exported and used by SomeModule.pm's helper methods if Inline::C is installed, otherwise export/use the Perl version of ed().

So I wonder what the best way to handle the situation is. Text::CSV_XS appears to set an env variable, but that doesn't seem ideal. Another solution uses eval { require Inline } and checks $@, but checking $@ doesn't seem ideal either (I see that in rare cases $@ gets modified).

Neither solution seems to be a very modern, elegant approach. What are some better ways to handle this?

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

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.
