Fear not... Exporter::Lite is a reimplementation of Exporter without tags. Exporter::SImple takes a totally different approach and allows you to mark all your exportables with attributes which is a nice idea but totally different to the old way and using attributes means several subroutine calls for every symbol you mark. Exporter::Easy is quite similar to how things work already it just makes it quicker and easier by removing the need for declaring variables and fiddling with @ISA. It also makes creating and using tags much easier. That said I actually think the nicest thing about it is that exporting just a couple of symbols can be done in 1 line instead of 4, F -- Do you need someone with lots of Unix sysadmin and/or lots of OO software development experience?
