Package: libexporter-lite-perl (0.08-1)

[ Source: libexporter-lite-perl  ]

lightweight subset of Exporter

Exporter::Lite is an alternative to Exporter, intended to provide a lightweight subset of the most commonly-used functionality. It supports import(), @EXPORT and @EXPORT_OK and not a whole lot else.

Unlike Exporter, it is not necessary to inherit from Exporter::Lite (ie. no @ISA = qw(Exporter::Lite) mantra). Exporter::Lite simply exports its import() function into your namespace. This might be called a "mix-in" or a "role".

Setting up a module to export its variables and functions is simple:

 package My::Module;
 use Exporter::Lite;

 @EXPORT = qw($Foo bar);

Functions and variables listed in the @EXPORT package variable are automatically exported if you use the module and don't explicitly list any imports. Now, when you use My::Module, $Foo and bar() will show up.
