Importing subroutines from one package to another

[Ian D. Stewart]

Howdy folks,

I'm struggling with Exporter, and am hoping someone can shed some
light...

I have the a package that starts like so:

package Java::ClassFile;
require Exporter;
@ISA = qw(Exporter);
@EXPORT_OK = qw(accPublic accProtected accPrivate accStatic accFinal 
                accSynchronized accVolatile accTransient accNative 
                accAbstract);
%EXPORT_TAGS = (visibility => [qw(accPublic accProtected accPrivate)],
                scope => [qw(accStatic accFinal accAbstract)],
                method_scope => [qw(accSynchronized accVolatile 
                                    accTransient accNative)]);


if I add a 'use Java::ClassFile qw(:visibility)' to a regular script, I
am able to access accPublic, accProtected and accPrivate without any
problems.

However, trying the same within another package fails.  If I just use
'accPublic', perl treats it as a bare word.  If I force interpretation
as a subroutine, by prepending an '&' at the beginning, I get an error
message 'Undefined subroutine &Java::Class::accPublic called at ...'

Is there some way to force importing from one package to another, or am
I pretty much SOL?


Thanx,
Ian
