NAME Exporter::Handy - An EXPERIMENTAL subclass of , which helps create easy-to-extend modules that export symbols VERSION version 1.000003 SYNOPSIS Define a module with exports package My::Utils; use Exporter::Handy -exporter_setup => 1; export(qw( foo $x @STUFF -strict_and_warnings ), ':baz' => ['foo'] ); sub foo { ... } sub strict_and_warnings { strict->import; warnings->import; } Create a new module which exports all that, and more package My::MoreUtils; use My::Utils -exporter_setup => 1; sub util_fn3 : Export(:baz) { ... } Use the module use My::MoreUtils qw( -strict_and_warnings :baz @STUFF ); # Use the exported things push @STUFF, foo(), util_fn3(); DESCRIPTION This module is currently EXPERIMENTAL. You are advised to restrain from using it. You have been warned. FUNCTIONS xtags Build one or more export tags suitable for Exporter::Handy, Exporter::Extensible and co. use Exporter::Handy -exporter_setup => 1, xtags; export( foo baz xtags( bar => [qw( $bozo @baza boom )], ), ); OPTIONS strict, warnings, feature, utf8 The below statement: use Exporter::Handy -strict; is equivalent to: use Exporter::Handy; use strict; Same thing for "feature", "warnings", "utf8"; strictures The below statement: use Exporter::Handy -strictures; is equivalent to: use Exporter::Handy; use strict; use warnings; sane The below statement: use Exporter::Handy -sane; is equivalent to: use Exporter::Handy; use strict; use warnings; features The below statement: use Exporter::Handy -features; is equivalent to: use Exporter::Handy; use feature ( 'current_sub', # Perl v5.16+ (2012) : enable __SUB__ token that returns a ref to the current subroutine (or undef). 'evalbytes', # Perl v5.16+ (2012) : like string eval, but it treats its argument as a byte string. 'fc', # Perl v5.16+ (2012) : enable the fc function (Unicode casefolding). 'lexical_subs', # Perl v5.18+ (2012) : enable declaration of subroutines via my sub foo, state sub foo and our sub foo syntax. 'say', # Perl v5.10+ (2007) : enable the Raku-inspired "say" function. 'state', # Perl v5.10+ (2007) : enable state variables. 'unicode_eval', # Perl v5.16+ (2012) : changes the behavior of plain string eval to work more consistently, especially in the Unicode world. 'unicode_strings', # Perl v5.12+ (2010) : use Unicode rules in all string operations (unless either use locale or use bytes are also within the scope). ); whereas the below statement: use Exporter::Handy -features => [qw(say)]; is equivalent to: use Exporter::Handy; use feature ( 'say', # Perl v5.10+ (2007) : enable the Raku-inspired "say" function. ); AUTHORS Tabulo[n] SUPPORT Bugs / Feature Requests Please report any bugs or feature requests through the issue tracker at .
