NAME
Exporter::Tiny - an exporter with the features of Sub::Exporter but only core dependencies
SYNOPSIS
package MyUtils;
use base "Exporter::Tiny";
our @EXPORT = qw(frobnicate);
sub frobnicate { ... }
1;
package MyScript;
use MyUtils "frobnicate" => { -as => "frob" };
print frob(42);
exit;
DESCRIPTION
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.
