The problem is that if you supply any args to the "use" statement, those args override the defaults in @EXPORT. So saying use SI::env qw(die_error); will import *only* the die_error symbol. That's why you can say use SI::env (); To suppress importing anything. Fortunately, there is an easy workaround. To get the contents of @EXPORT plus additional symbols, just use the :DEFAULT tag: use SI::env qw(:DEFAULT die_error); That should do the trick. See Exporter docs for the gory details. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
