| Subject: | Sometimes, a package won't be an Exporter if @ISA is ordered wrong |
| Date: | Wed, 14 Apr 2010 19:57:22 -0700 (PDT) |
| To: | bug-Exporter [...] rt.cpan.org |
| From: | David Tindall Mcmath <mcdave [...] stanford.edu> |
The attached test.pl script produces the following output:
--
McDaves-MacBook-Pro:~ mcdave$ perl test.pl
It works
It works
Undefined subroutine &main::testbiz called at test.pl line 19.
It works
--
I expected it to write "It works" four times. With @ISA=qw(CGI Exporter), the exported function doesn't seem to get out into main.
It's not the best style, but it happens to mirror the code where I actually noticed the problem first. I don't know whether it's a problem with Exporter or base. It seems odd that CGI and Class::DBI would have different behavior but I really don't know much about that sort of thing.
Thanks for any help you can offer,
dave
