Exporter and inheriting (Score:1)

by arc (5008) on 2007.10.12 7:21 (#58299) Homepage

It’s certainly common for non-OO modules to inherit from Exporter, and it matches the first example in the Exporter synopsis. But the second example shows an alternative:

package MyModule; use Exporter qw<import>; our @EXPORT_OK = qw<...>;

I recently changed a large codebase to use that approach instead of inheritance.
