-=head1 NAME
-
-Exporter - provide inport/export controls for Perl modules
-
-=head1 SYNOPSIS
-
-use Module;
-use Module qw(name1 name2 :tag /pattern/ !name);
-
-=head1 DESCRIPTION
-
-If the first entry in an import list begins with !, : or / then the
-list is treated as a series of specifications which either add to or
-delete from the list of names to import. They are processed left to
-right. Specifications are in the form:
-
- [!]name This name only
- [!]:DEFAULT All names in @EXPORT
- [!]:tag All names in $EXPORT_TAGS{tag} anonymous list
- [!]/pattern/ All names in @EXPORT and @EXPORT_OK which match
-
-A leading ! indicates that matching names should be deleted from the
-list of names to import. If the first specification is a deletion it
-is treated as though preceded by :DEFAULT. If you just want to import
-extra names in addition to the default set you will still need to
-include :DEFAULT explicitly.
-
-e.g., Module.pm defines:
-
- @EXPORT = qw(A1 A2 A3 A4 A5);
- @EXPORT_OK = qw(B1 B2 B3 B4 B5);
- %EXPORT_TAGS = (T1 => [qw(A1 A2 B1 B2)], T2 => [qw(A1 A2 B3 B4)]);
-
- Note that you cannot use tags in @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK.
- Names in EXPORT_TAGS must also appear in @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK.
-
-Application says:
-
- use Module qw(:DEFAULT :T2 !B3 A3);
- use Socket qw(!/^[AP]F_/ !SOMAXCONN !SOL_SOCKET);
- use POSIX qw(/^S_/ acos asin atan /^E/ !/^EXIT/);
-
-You can set C<$Exporter::Verbose=1;> to see how the specifications are
-being processed and what is actually being imported into modules.
-
-=head2 Module Version Checking
-
-The Exporter module will convert an attempt to import a number from a
-module into a call to $module_name->require_version($value). This can
-be used to validate that the version of the module being used is
-greater than or equal to the required version.
-
-The Exporter module supplies a default require_version method which
-checks the value of $VERSION in the exporting module.

+=head1 NAME
+
+Exporter - Implements default import method for modules
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+In module ModuleName.pm:
+
+ package ModuleName;
+ require Exporter;
+ @ISA = qw(Exporter);
+
+ @EXPORT = qw(...); # symbols to export by default
+ @EXPORT_OK = qw(...); # symbols to export on request
+ %EXPORT_TAGS = tag => [...]; # define names for sets of symbols
+
+In other files which wish to use ModuleName:
+
+ use ModuleName; # import default symbols into my package
+
+ use ModuleName qw(...); # import listed symbols into my package
+
+ use ModuleName (); # do not import any symbols
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+The Exporter module implements a default C<import> method which
+many modules choose inherit rather than implement their own.
+
+Perl automatically calls the C<import> method when processing a
+C<use> statement for a module. Modules and C<use> are documented
+in L<perlfunc> and L<perlmod>. Understanding the concept of
+modules and how the C<use> statement operates is important to
+understanding the Exporter.
+
+=head2 Selecting What To Export
+
+Do B<not> export method names!
+
+Do B<not> export anything else by default without a good reason!
+
+Exports pollute the namespace of the module user. If you must export
+try to use @EXPORT_OK in preference to @EXPORT and avoid short or
+common symbol names to reduce the risk of name clashes.
+
+Generally anything not exported is still accessible from outside the
+module using the ModuleName::item_name (or $blessed_ref->method)
+syntax. By convention you can use a leading underscore on names to
+informally indicate that they are 'internal' and not for public use.
+
+(It is actually possible to get private functions by saying:
+
+ my $subref = sub { ... };
+ &$subref;
+
+But there's no way to call that directly as a method, since a method
+must have a name in the symbol table.)
+
+As a general rule, if the module is trying to be object oriented
+then export nothing. If it's just a collection of functions then
+@EXPORT_OK anything but use @EXPORT with caution.
+
+Other module design guidelines can be found in L<perlmod>.
+
+=head2 Specialised Import Lists
+
+If the first entry in an import list begins with !, : or / then the
+list is treated as a series of specifications which either add to or
+delete from the list of names to import. They are processed left to
+right. Specifications are in the form:
+
+ [!]name This name only
+ [!]:DEFAULT All names in @EXPORT
+ [!]:tag All names in $EXPORT_TAGS{tag} anonymous list
+ [!]/pattern/ All names in @EXPORT and @EXPORT_OK which match
+
+A leading ! indicates that matching names should be deleted from the
+list of names to import. If the first specification is a deletion it
+is treated as though preceded by :DEFAULT. If you just want to import
+extra names in addition to the default set you will still need to
+include :DEFAULT explicitly.
+
+e.g., Module.pm defines:
+
+ @EXPORT = qw(A1 A2 A3 A4 A5);
+ @EXPORT_OK = qw(B1 B2 B3 B4 B5);
+ %EXPORT_TAGS = (T1 => [qw(A1 A2 B1 B2)], T2 => [qw(A1 A2 B3 B4)]);
+
+ Note that you cannot use tags in @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK.
+ Names in EXPORT_TAGS must also appear in @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK.
+
+An application using Module can say something like:
+
+ use Module qw(:DEFAULT :T2 !B3 A3);
+
+Other examples include:
+
+ use Socket qw(!/^[AP]F_/ !SOMAXCONN !SOL_SOCKET);
+ use POSIX qw(:errno_h :termios_h !TCSADRAIN !/^EXIT/);
+
+Remember that most patterns (using //) will need to be anchored
+with a leading ^, e.g., C</^EXIT/> rather than C</EXIT/>.
+
+You can say C<BEGIN { $Exporter::Verbose=1 }> to see how the
+specifications are being processed and what is actually being imported
+into modules.
+
+=head2 Module Version Checking
+
+The Exporter module will convert an attempt to import a number from a
+module into a call to $module_name->require_version($value). This can
+be used to validate that the version of the module being used is
+greater than or equal to the required version.
+
+The Exporter module supplies a default require_version method which
+checks the value of $VERSION in the exporting module.
+
+Since the default require_version method treats the $VERSION number as
+a simple numeric value it will regard version 1.10 and being lower
+than 1.9. For this reason it is strongly recommended that you use
+numbers with at least two decimal places, e.g., 1.09.
+
+=head2 Managing Unknown Symbols
+
+In some situations you may want to prevent certain symbols from being
+exported. Typically this applies to extensions which have functions
+or constants that may not exist on some systems.
+
+The names of any symbols that cannot be exported should be listed
+in the C<@EXPORT_FAIL> array.
+
+If a module attempts to import any of these symbols the Exporter will
+will give the module an opportunity to handle the situation before
+generating an error. The Exporter will call an export_fail method
+with a list of the failed symbols:
+
+ @failed_symbols = $module_name->export_fail(@failed_symbols);
+
+If the export_fail method returns an empty list then no error is
+recorded and all the requested symbols are exported. If the returned
+list is not empty then an error is generated for each symbol and the
+export fails. The Exporter provides a default export_fail method which
+simply returns the list unchanged.
+
+Uses for the export_fail method include giving better error messages
+for some symbols and performing lazy architectural checks (put more
+symbols into @EXPORT_FAIL by default and then take them out if someone
+actually tries to use them and an expensive check shows that they are
+usable on that platform).
+
+=head2 Tag Handling Utility Functions
+
+Since the symbols listed within %EXPORT_TAGS must also appear in either
+@EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK, two utility functions are provided which allow
+you to easily add tagged sets of symbols to @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK:
+
+ %EXPORT_TAGS = (foo => [qw(aa bb cc)], bar => [qw(aa cc dd)]);
+
+ Exporter::export_tags('foo'); # add aa, bb and cc to @EXPORT
+ Exporter::export_ok_tags('bar'); # add aa, cc and dd to @EXPORT_OK
+
+Any names which are not tags are added to @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK
+unchanged but will trigger a warning (with -w) to avoid misspelt tags
+names being silently added to @EXPORT or @EXPORT_OK. Future versions
+may make this a fatal error.
