NAME Import::Base - Import a set of modules into the calling module VERSION version 0.002 SYNOPSIS package My::Base; use base 'Import::Base'; sub modules { my ( $class, %args ) = @_; return ( strict => [], warnings => [], ); } 1; package My::Module; use My::Base; DESCRIPTION This module makes it easier to build and manage a base set of imports. Rather than importing a dozen modules in each of your project's modules, you simply import one module and get all the other modules you want. This reduces your module boilerplate from 12 lines to 1. METHODS modules( %args ) Prepare the list of modules to import. %args comes from the caller's "use" line. Returns a list of MODULE => [ import() args ]. MODULE may appear multiple times. SEE ALSO ToolSet This is very similar, but does not appear to allow subclasses to remove imports from the list of things to be imported. By having the module list be a static array, we can modify it further in more levels of subclasses. Toolkit This one requires configuration files in a home directory, so is not shippable. rig This one also requires configuration files in a home directory, so is not shippable.
