Binary package “libexporter-lite-perl” in ubuntu oracular
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.
.
Exporter::Lite simply exports its import() function into your namespace.
This might be called a "mix-in" or a "role".
.
When Exporter::Lite was written, if you wanted to use Exporter you had to
write something like this:
.
use Exporter;
our @ISA = qw/ Exporter /;
.
Exporter::Lite saved you from writing that second line.
But since before 2010 you've been able to write:
.
use Exporter qw/ import /;
.
which imports the import function into your namespace from Exporter.
.
As a result, it is recommended to use Exporter now,
as it's a core module (shipped with Perl).
