NAME

Sub::Import - import routines from most anything using Sub::Exporter

VERSION

version 1.000

SYNOPSIS

use Sub::Import 'Some::Library' => (
  some_routine  => { -as => 'some_other_name' },
  other_routine => undef,
);

DESCRIPTION

Sub::Import is the companion to Sub::Exporter. You can use Sub::Import to get Sub::Exporter-like import semantics, even if the library you're importing from used Exporter.pm.

The synopsis above should say it all. Where you would usually say:

use Some::Library qw(foo bar baz);

...to get Exporter.pm semantics, you can now get Sub::Exporter semantics with:

use Sub::Import 'Some::Library' => qw(foo bar baz);

WARNINGS AND LIMITATIONS

While you can rename imports, there is no way to customize them, because they are not being built by generators. At present, extra arguments for each import will be thrown away. In the future, they may become a fatal error.

Non-subroutine imports will not be importable via this mechanism.

The regex-like import features of Exporter.pm will be unavailable. (Will anyone miss them?)
