2001-03-14 Thread Mark Fowler

 Leo Lapworth was trying to debug something with Devel::DProf and
 couldn't understand why BEGIN was called more than once. Robert Price
 and Mark Fowler pointed out that 'use Module LIST' is exactly
 equivalent to 'BEGIN { require Module; import Module LIST; }', so the
 module was being use-d in multiple places, which is fine:
 http://www.mail-archive.com/london-pm%40lists.dircon.co.uk/msg02667.html

Did I?  It's not you know.  You forgot this bit of the perldoc -f use as
well:

   If you don't want your namespace altered,
   explicitly supply an empty list:

   use Module ();

   That is exactly equivalent to

   BEGIN { require Module }

i.e. that use Module and use Module() are ne.

Later.

Mark.

 Content-type: matter-transport/beer-stream

That's not right.  MIMEs do type/format (e.g. image/gif.)  So it'd more
likely be:

Content-type: beer/guinness

Isn't that what happens in the bogs of Penderels Oak?

Is it just me who has noticed the similarities between
the bogs of Penderels Oak and the TARDIS?

Yes. Definitely. Just you. None of the rest of us has noticed anything
odd at all.
