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.
    );
