Exporter::Tiny - an exporter with the features of Sub::Exporter but only core dependencies
package MyUtils; use base "Exporter::Tiny"; our @EXPORT = qw(frobnicate); sub frobnicate { ... } 1; package MyScript; use MyUtils "frobnicate" => { -as => "frob" }; print frob(42); exit;
Exporter::Tiny supports many of Sub::Exporter's external-facing features including renaming imported functions with the -as, -prefix and -suffix options; explicit destinations with the into option; and alternative installers with the installer option. But it's written in only about 40% as many lines of code and with zero non-core dependencies.

Its internal-facing interface is closer to Exporter.pm, with configuration done through the @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK and %EXPORT_TAGS package variables.
