211 | =head1 NAME | |
212 | ||
213 | Exporter - Implements default import method for modules | |
214 | ||
215 | =head1 SYNOPSIS | |
216 | ||
217 | In module ModuleName.pm: | |
218 | ||
219 | package ModuleName; | |
220 | require Exporter; | |
221 | @ISA = qw(Exporter); | |
222 | ||
223 | @EXPORT = qw(...); # symbols to export by default | |
224 | @EXPORT_OK = qw(...); # symbols to export on request | |
225 | %EXPORT_TAGS = tag => [...]; # define names for sets of symbols | |
226 | ||
227 | In other files which wish to use ModuleName: | |
228 | ||
229 | use ModuleName; # import default symbols into my package | |
230 | ||
231 | use ModuleName qw(...); # import listed symbols into my package | |
232 | ||
233 | use ModuleName (); # do not import any symbols | |
234 | ||
235 | =head1 DESCRIPTION | |
236 | ||
237 | The Exporter module implements a default C<import> method which | |
238 | many modules choose inherit rather than implement their own. | |
239 | ||
240 | Perl automatically calls the C<import> method when processing a | |
241 | C<use> statement for a module. Modules and C<use> are documented | |
242 | in L<perlfunc> and L<perlmod>. Understanding the concept of | |
243 | modules and how the C<use> statement operates is important to | |
244 | understanding the Exporter. | |
245 | ||
246 | =head2 Selecting What To Export | |
247 | ||
248 | Do B<not> export method names! | |
249 | ||
250 | Do B<not> export anything else by default without a good reason! | |
251 | ||
252 | Exports pollute the namespace of the module user. If you must export | |
253 | try to use @EXPORT_OK in preference to @EXPORT and avoid short or | |
254 | common symbol names to reduce the risk of name clashes. | |
255 | ||
256 | Generally anything not exported is still accessible from outside the | |
257 | module using the ModuleName::item_name (or $blessed_ref->method) | |
258 | syntax. By convention you can use a leading underscore on names to | |
259 | informally indicate that they are 'internal' and not for public use. | |
260 | ||
261 | (It is actually possible to get private functions by saying: | |
262 | ||
263 | my $subref = sub { ... }; | |
264 | &$subref; | |
265 | ||
266 | But there's no way to call that directly as a method, since a method | |
267 | must have a name in the symbol table.) | |
268 | ||
269 | As a general rule, if the module is trying to be object oriented | |
270 | then export nothing. If it's just a collection of functions then | |
271 | @EXPORT_OK anything but use @EXPORT with caution. | |
272 | ||
273 | Other module design guidelines can be found in L<perlmod>. | |
274 | ||
275 | =head2 Specialised Import Lists | |
276 | ||
277 | If the first entry in an import list begins with !, : or / then the | |
278 | list is treated as a series of specifications which either add to or | |
279 | delete from the list of names to import. They are processed left to | |
280 | right. Specifications are in the form: | |
281 | ||
282 | [!]name This name only | |
283 | [!]:DEFAULT All names in @EXPORT | |
284 | [!]:tag All names in $EXPORT_TAGS{tag} anonymous list | |
285 | [!]/pattern/ All names in @EXPORT and @EXPORT_OK which match | |
286 | ||
287 | A leading ! indicates that matching names should be deleted from the | |
288 | list of names to import. If the first specification is a deletion it | |
289 | is treated as though preceded by :DEFAULT. If you just want to import | |
290 | extra names in addition to the default set you will still need to | |
291 | include :DEFAULT explicitly. | |
292 | ||
293 | e.g., Module.pm defines: | |
294 | ||
295 | @EXPORT = qw(A1 A2 A3 A4 A5); | |
296 | @EXPORT_OK = qw(B1 B2 B3 B4 B5); | |
297 | %EXPORT_TAGS = (T1 => [qw(A1 A2 B1 B2)], T2 => [qw(A1 A2 B3 B4)]); | |
298 | ||
299 | Note that you cannot use tags in @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK. | |
300 | Names in EXPORT_TAGS must also appear in @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK. | |
301 | ||
302 | An application using Module can say something like: | |
303 | ||
304 | use Module qw(:DEFAULT :T2 !B3 A3); | |
305 | ||
306 | Other examples include: | |
307 | ||
308 | use Socket qw(!/^[AP]F_/ !SOMAXCONN !SOL_SOCKET); | |
309 | use POSIX qw(:errno_h :termios_h !TCSADRAIN !/^EXIT/); | |
310 | ||
311 | Remember that most patterns (using //) will need to be anchored | |
312 | with a leading ^, e.g., C</^EXIT/> rather than C</EXIT/>. | |
313 | ||
314 | You can say C<BEGIN { $Exporter::Verbose=1 }> to see how the | |
315 | specifications are being processed and what is actually being imported | |
316 | into modules. | |
317 | ||
318 | =head2 Module Version Checking | |
319 | ||
320 | The Exporter module will convert an attempt to import a number from a | |
321 | module into a call to $module_name->require_version($value). This can | |
322 | be used to validate that the version of the module being used is | |
323 | greater than or equal to the required version. | |
324 | ||
325 | The Exporter module supplies a default require_version method which | |
326 | checks the value of $VERSION in the exporting module. | |
327 | ||
328 | Since the default require_version method treats the $VERSION number as | |
329 | a simple numeric value it will regard version 1.10 and being lower | |
330 | than 1.9. For this reason it is strongly recommended that you use | |
331 | numbers with at least two decimal places, e.g., 1.09. | |
332 | ||
333 | =head2 Managing Unknown Symbols | |
334 | ||
335 | In some situations you may want to prevent certain symbols from being | |
336 | exported. Typically this applies to extensions which have functions | |
337 | or constants that may not exist on some systems. | |
338 | ||
339 | The names of any symbols that cannot be exported should be listed | |
340 | in the C<@EXPORT_FAIL> array. | |
341 | ||
342 | If a module attempts to import any of these symbols the Exporter will | |
343 | will give the module an opportunity to handle the situation before | |
344 | generating an error. The Exporter will call an export_fail method | |
345 | with a list of the failed symbols: | |
346 | ||
347 | @failed_symbols = $module_name->export_fail(@failed_symbols); | |
348 | ||
349 | If the export_fail method returns an empty list then no error is | |
350 | recorded and all the requested symbols are exported. If the returned | |
351 | list is not empty then an error is generated for each symbol and the | |
352 | export fails. The Exporter provides a default export_fail method which | |
353 | simply returns the list unchanged. | |
354 | ||
355 | Uses for the export_fail method include giving better error messages | |
356 | for some symbols and performing lazy architectural checks (put more | |
357 | symbols into @EXPORT_FAIL by default and then take them out if someone | |
358 | actually tries to use them and an expensive check shows that they are | |
359 | usable on that platform). | |
360 | ||
361 | =head2 Tag Handling Utility Functions | |
362 | ||
363 | Since the symbols listed within %EXPORT_TAGS must also appear in either | |
364 | @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK, two utility functions are provided which allow | |
365 | you to easily add tagged sets of symbols to @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK: | |
366 | ||
367 | %EXPORT_TAGS = (foo => [qw(aa bb cc)], bar => [qw(aa cc dd)]); | |
368 | ||
369 | Exporter::export_tags('foo'); # add aa, bb and cc to @EXPORT | |
370 | Exporter::export_ok_tags('bar'); # add aa, cc and dd to @EXPORT_OK | |
371 | ||
372 | Any names which are not tags are added to @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK | |
373 | unchanged but will trigger a warning (with -w) to avoid misspelt tags | |
374 | names being silently added to @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK. Future versions | |
375 | may make this a fatal error. | |
376 | ||
