Keeping packages clean
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
When you define a function, or import one, into a Perl package, it will
|
||
|
|
naturally also be available as a method. This does not per se cause
|
||
|
|
problems, but it can complicate subclassing and, for example, plugin
|
||
|
|
classes that are included via multiple inheritance by loading them as
|
||
|
|
base classes.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The "namespace::clean" pragma will remove all previously declared or
|
||
|
|
imported symbols at the end of the current package's compile cycle.
|
||
|
|
Functions called in the package itself will still be bound by their
|
||
|
|
name, but they won't show up as methods on your class or instances.
