FUNCTIONS

None are exported by default, but they can be.

package_exists($name) => BOOL

Return true if package "exists". By "exists", it means that the package has been defined by package statement or some entries have been created in the symbol table (e.g. $Foo::var = 1; will make the Foo package "exist").

This function can be used e.g. for checking before aliasing one package to another. Or to casually check whether a module has been loaded.
