Importing Modules
Perl modules generally export functions/variables (most of them) or affect the lexical environment (pragmas, like strict/warnings) or are weird. We'll ignore the third kind. Symbol exporters usually affect the package they're used from, but there are some exceptions (e.g. builtin exports to the lexical environment). We'll ignore lexical exporters as well.
Here are some of the ways you can load modules in Perl:
use Some::Module;gives you the "default" behavior/exports, whatever that is for a given module.use Some::Module "list", "of", "args";passes the arguments to the module to do whatever. For symbol exporters this is normally the list of symbols you'd like to import.use Some::Module ();(an explicit empty import list) loads a module without importing anything.require Some::Module;also loads a module without importing anything, but at runtime, not compile time.{ use Some::Module; }imports package symbols, but inhibits pragma effects. (For example,{ use Moose; }gives you helpers likehasorextends, but does not turn on strict/warnings.)package My::Package::_Dummy; use Some::Module; package My::Package;provides the opposite effect: It enables lexical effects, but diverts exported symbols to a different package.

A memorial, and burial, for [Matt S. Trout a.k.a mst] will be held at 14:00 on Wednesday 30th July in the Much Hoole Woodland Burial Ground.
Dammit, mst. I owe you. You welcomed me to the community, you inspired me, you made me laugh, and you nudged me in the right direction when I said some dumb shit. You didn't even permaban me when I flooded #perl with a kilobyte of combining Unicode characters. I still can't believe you're just ... gone. I wanted to talk to you again.
Well fuck. mst had a terrible habit of uh opening his mouth and letting words come out. But very smart, did his damnedest to be kind, usually admitted his failures, and a hell of a lot of energy. A loud, abrasive cornerstone of the #Perl community.
Sounds negative, but no. I'm just acknowledging his issues while saying with full heart that I've missed that fucker and now I'm mad I have to keep missing him.

Are you still using the 2-argument open?
The 2-argument open function is insecureRobert Rothenberg (security.metacpan.org)
I have also uploaded a Dist::Zilla plugin to #CPAN for testing code against mixed Unicode scripts.
I’m looking for work as a senior software #developer. I have a full-stack #WebDev cert, 16+ years #Perl back-end experience, proficiency in multiple other #programming languages.
Databases? Sure, relational *and* NoSQL. Ci/CD? Have done, want to do more. I like working with others, either here in #Houston or remotely across the US.
I’ve been hacking code since the #Commodore PET days. I can certainly delight your customers, whatever your stack.

So I've tried to install sophisticated/complicated "local network cloud" storage apps to backup things from any device, to no avail. Bah! So I am just making my own from nuts and bolts with #Perl #mojolicious
It is maybe clunky, but simple and working too:

🚀 Solving Geocoding Challenges with Perl at Geolytica 🌍
Geolytica tackles the tough problem of parsing free-form addresses and matching them to real-world locations! 🖥️✨
From correcting OpenStreetMap Point Of Interest data using in-house AI ("PerlGPT") to maintaining billions of geo-location entities, Perl’s stability and versatility make it the backbone of their geocoding engines for geocoder.ca and geocode.xyz.

Interesting that it uses Object::Pad (metacpan.org/pod/Object::Pad), which has become a testbed/preview for upcoming features in Perl's (still experimental) new #OOP syntax (perldoc.perl.org/perlclass, code-named #Corinna). I know @leonerd has often asked for more folks to kick the tires on both.
