I have programs with 10 modules in 300 lines, and I should break them into 30 line modules each just because perl is broken?
Perl is working exactly as documented. There's at least one question a week here about how this all works, and every time the answer is the same.
I wanted 'use module' not try to include a module if it was in the same file...
How is that to work? Is the compiler to guess that subsequent code in the file will declare a package? Is the compiler to process the entire file once, looking for package statements, and only then start compiling the code?
You don't put such things with dependent functionality in multiple files or your development becomes a nightmare finding what file you are supposed to be in.
Sure I do, and I don't have these nightmare debugging problems you do.
