Functions or class methods? Class methods just work normally. Functoins are potentially methods (or vice versa), just as in normal perl. No difference really from a "traditional" class. > I read an explanation by one of the developers about static variables, > and way it was not implemented in Moose itself, > > but was left for a MooseX extension.

That's certainly possible, but it's probably a much better idea to have a separate .pm file and package for the exported routines. I usually use Sub::Exporter. For an example of how to mix the exports and the OO api in the same .pm, see Devel::StringInfo for example Cheers, Yuval P.S. sorry for belated reply, I've been ignoring my email for the past week _______________________________________________ Perl mailing list [email protected] http://mail.perl.org.il/mailman/listinfo/perl
