Perhaps I don't understand modules as well as I should. Here's my problem.
I have a module (Peeron::Lib), which uses GDBM_File. So somewhere, I have a line saying: tie %hash, "GDBM_File", $DB, GDBM_Reader, 0644 or die "$!"; but when I try this, I get an error saying: Bareword "GDBM_READER" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at Peeron/Lib.pm line 286. Compilation failed in require. BEGIN failed--compilation aborted. ok, so I figure that since I'm in the namespace of Peeron::Lib, I should explicitly specify the namespace of GDBM_File: tie %hash, "GDBM_File", $DB, GDBM_File::GDBM_Reader, 0644 or die "$!"; and that seems to work, without a warning. My question is, why do I have to specify the package, considering I "use"ed the GDBM_File module, and it should have exported it's symbols to my namespace? -- Dan Boger [EMAIL PROTECTED]
