Hi, previously there was a discussion on clpm regarding the merrits or non-merrits of package Bla; require Exporter; @ISA = qw(Exporter); versus the simpler and cleaner package Bla; use base qw(Exporter); Since the latter doesn't seem to have any drawbacks, I suggest changing the code examples in the PODs relating to Exporter. The patch addresses lib/Exporter.pm and pod/perlmod.pod. A quick grep through the PODs didn't produce any more occurances, yet there might be some somewhere else.
