Check the bugs section of (the yet unpublished) firstof.pm:
CALLING TYPE BUG
Rather than doing
use \"Fred", Foo, Wibble;
I'd like to do
use Fred Foo, Wibble;
Akin to what print does. But currently prototypes
(and import) won't allow me to express this.
And the section of 'perldoc -f use'
use Module VERSION LIST
<some stuff>
If the VERSION argument is present between Module and LIST, then the
use will call the VERSION method in class Module with the given
version as an argument. The default VERSION method, inherited from
the UNIVERSAL class, croaks if the given version is larger than the
value of the variable $Module::VERSION.
My question is, how evil would it be to override VERSION to do something
that it was never, ever, designed for...
Later
Mark.
