outside of our world and CGI.pm I've never seen the '-foo' syntax. that Exporter doesn't support it natively led me to believe that it was merely a convention used by only a few. but I'll accept that it is more standard than I think :) > And I prefer 'withtestmore', to imply: don't not import symbols > exportable by Test::More. ok, withtestmore it is. but if it's ok with you I still prefer the ':withtestmore' version - somehow the '-withtestmore' still looks strange to me, especially within quotes or qw and without an action (as in -compile => qw(foo). >> but whatever.
