Exporter::Easy 0.16

Exporter::Easy is a Perl module that takes the drudgery out of Exporting symbols. SYNOPSIS In module YourModule.pm: package YourModule; use Exporter::Easy ( OK => [ $munge, frobnicate ] # symbols to export on request ); In other files which wish to use YourModule: use ModuleName qw(frobnicate); # import listed symbols frobnicate ($left, $right) # calls YourModule::frobnicate Exporter::Easy makes using Exporter easy. In its simplest case it allows you to drop the boilerplate code that comes with using Exporter, so require Exporter; use base qw( Exporter ); use vars qw( @EXPORT ); @EXPORT = ( init ); becomes use Exporter::Easy ( EXPORT => [ init ] ); and more complicated situations where you use tags to build lists and more tags become easy, like this use Exporter::Easy ( EXPORT => [qw( init :base )], TAGS => [ base => [qw( open close )], read => [qw( read sysread readline )], write => [qw( print write writeline )], misc => [qw( select flush )], all => [qw( :base :read :write :misc)], no_misc => [qw( :all !:misc )], ], OK => [qw( some other stuff )], ); This will set @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK, @EXPORT_FAIL and %EXPORT_TAGS in the current package, add Exporter to that packages @ISA and do a use vars on all the variables mentioned. The rest is handled as normal by Exporter..
