It's diffed against the latest Exporter.pm and Exporter.t rather than the 5.8.0 versions and it adds the ALL feature... use Exporter ( EXPORT => [ qw( a b c d )], OK => [ qw(e f g h ) ], ALL => 'everything', ); will result in @EXPORT = qw( a b c d ); @EXPORT_OK = qw( a b c d e f g h); %EXPORT_TAGS = ( everything => [ qw( a b c d e f g h )], ); Many modules export some sort of tag containing all the symbols, this allows that tag to be built automatically. Finally, my code is now in a subroutine so the patch hardly touches any old code at all. It's actually the the simple case that annoys me most where 3 out of 4 lines are just boilerplate code that goes with every use of Exporter F -- Do you need someone with lots of Unix sysadmin and/or lots of OO software development experience?
