man UNIVERSAL::exports () - Lightweight, universal exporting of variables

NAME

UNIVERSAL::exports - Lightweight, universal exporting of variables

SYNOPSIS

  package Foo;
  use UNIVERSAL::exports;

  # Just like Exporter.
  @EXPORT       = qw($This &That);
  @EXPORT_OK    = qw(@Left %Right);

  # Meanwhile, in another piece of code!
  package Bar;
  use Foo;  # exports $This and &That.

DESCRIPTION

This is an alternative to Exporter intended to provide a universal, lightweight subset of its functionality. It uses Exporter::Lite, so look there for details.

Additionally, CWexports() is provided to find out what symbols a module exports.

UNIVERSAL::exports places its methods in the UNIVERSAL namespace, so there is no need to subclass from it.

Methods

UNIVERSAL::exports has two public methods, import() derived from Exporter::Lite, and exports().

import

  Some::Module->import;
  Some::Module->import(@symbols);

This is Exporter::Lite's import() method. Look in Exporter::Lite for details.

exports

  @exported_symbols = Some::Module->exports;
  Some::Module->exports($symbol);

Reports what symbols are exported by Some::Module. With no arguments, it simply returns a list of all exportable symbols. Otherwise, it reports if it will export a given CW$symbol.

DIAGNOSTICS

Attempted to import a symbol which is not in CW@EXPORT or CW@EXPORT_OK. Attempted to import a symbol of an unknown type (ie. the leading $@% salad wasn't recognized).
