perl-Exporter-Lite

Exporter::Lite is an alternative to Exporter, intended to provide a
lightweight subset of the most commonly-used functionality. It supports
'import()', '@EXPORT' and '@EXPORT_OK' and not a whole lot else.
Exporter::Lite simply exports its import() function into your namespace.
This might be called a "mix-in" or a "role".
When 'Exporter::Lite' was written, if you wanted to use 'Exporter' you had
to write something like this:
use Exporter;
 our @ISA = qw/ Exporter /;
'Exporter::Lite' saved you from writing that second line. But since before
2010 you've been able to write:
use Exporter qw/ import /;
Which imports the 'import' function into your namespace from 'Exporter'. As
a result, I would recommend that you use 'Exporter' now, as it's a core
module (shipped with Perl).
To make sure you get a version of 'Exporter' that supports the above usage,
specify a minimum version when you 'use' it:
use Exporter 5.57 qw/ import /;
