All you need to do is export a 'blog' method from your
MyApp::Plugin::Blog plugin. This can be done quite easily using the
Exporter module. Here is a quick example of what you would put in
your plugin:
use strict;
use vars qw($VERSION @EXPORT @ISA);
require Exporter;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT = qw(blog);
sub blog {
blog blog blog
}
This all works through the 'import' method that is always called when
you 'use' a module. For more details on exporting functions, see the
docs for Exporter, as well as perlfunc and perlmod.
