NAME

Exporter::Handy - An EXPERIMENTAL subclass of <Exporter::Extensible>, which helps create easy-to-extend modules that export symbols

VERSION

version 1.000004

SYNOPSIS

Define a module with exports

package My::Utils;
use Exporter::Handy -exporter_setup => 1;

export(qw( foo $x @STUFF -strict_and_warnings ), ':baz' => ['foo'] );

sub foo { ... }

sub strict_and_warnings {
  strict->import;
  warnings->import;
}

Create a new module which exports all that, and more

package My::MoreUtils;
use My::Utils -exporter_setup => 1;
sub util_fn3 : Export(:baz) { ... }

Use the module

use My::MoreUtils qw( -strict_and_warnings :baz @STUFF );
# Use the exported things
push @STUFF, foo(), util_fn3();

DESCRIPTION

This module is currently EXPERIMENTAL. You are advised to restrain from using it.

You have been warned.

FUNCTIONS

xtags

Build one or more export tags suitable for Exporter::Handy, Exporter::Extensible and co.

use Exporter::Handy -exporter_setup => 1, xtags;

export(
    foo
    baz
    xtags(
      bar => [qw( $bozo @baza boom )],
    ),
);

OPTIONS

strict, warnings, feature, utf8

The below statement:

use Exporter::Handy -strict;

is equivalent to: use Exporter::Handy; use strict;

Same thing for "feature", "warnings", "utf8";

strictures

The below statement:

use Exporter::Handy -strictures;

is equivalent to: use Exporter::Handy; use strict; use warnings;

sane

The below statement:

use Exporter::Handy -sane;

is equivalent to: use Exporter::Handy; use strict; use warnings;

features

The below statement:

use Exporter::Handy -features;

is equivalent to: use Exporter::Handy; use feature ( 'current_sub', # Perl v5.16+ (2012) : enable __SUB__ token that returns a ref to the current subroutine (or undef). 'evalbytes', # Perl v5.16+ (2012) : like string eval, but it treats its argument as a byte string. 'fc', # Perl v5.16+ (2012) : enable the fc function (Unicode casefolding). 'lexical_subs', # Perl v5.18+ (2012) : enable declaration of subroutines via my sub foo, state sub foo and our sub foo syntax. 'say', # Perl v5.10+ (2007) : enable the Raku-inspired "say" function. 'state', # Perl v5.10+ (2007) : enable state variables. 'unicode_eval', # Perl v5.16+ (2012) : changes the behavior of plain string eval to work more consistently, especially in the Unicode world. 'unicode_strings', # Perl v5.12+ (2010) : use Unicode rules in all string operations (unless either use locale or use bytes are also within the scope). );

whereas the below statement:

use Exporter::Handy -features => [qw(say)];

is equivalent to:

use Exporter::Handy;
use feature (
  'say',              # Perl v5.10+ (2007) : enable the Raku-inspired "say" function.
);
