in reply to Location of 'use' statements

You do realize the order in which you use might be important when importing/poisining your namespace. The last modules used will overwrite any other subroutines that might be import. I think at some point in history, LWP::Simple and CGI clashed at something like that.

    You mean if two modules export functions with the same name? In that case you'll have problems no matter what the order though, right? Fortunately I haven't encountered that problem before myself, but the possibility is just one more reason to use warnings. :^)

      I'm quibbling over whether to be a fan of use warnings FATAL => 'all'; which would ensure you didn't do that by accident.

      Ofcourse you are in trouble but the order in which use is used determines which function is actually used.
