=head1 NAME
|
|
|
|
autouse - postpone load of modules until a function is used
|
|
|
|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
use autouse 'Carp' => qw(carp croak);
|
|
carp "this carp was predeclared and autoused ";
|
|
|
|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
If the module C<Module> is already loaded, then the declaration
|
|
|
|
use autouse 'Module' => qw(func1 func2($;$) Module::func3);
|
|
|
|
is equivalent to
|
|
|
|
use Module qw(func1 func2);
|
|
|
|
if C<Module> defines func2() with prototype C<($;$)>, and func1() and
|
|
func3() have no prototypes. (At least if C<Module> uses C<Exporter>'s
|
|
C<import>, otherwise it is a fatal error.)
|
|
|
|
If the module C<Module> is not loaded yet, then the above declaration
|
|
declares functions func1() and func2() in the current package, and
|
|
declares a function Module::func3(). When these functions are called,
|
|
they load the package C<Module> if needed, and substitute themselves
|
|
with the correct definitions.
|
|
|
|
=head1 WARNING
|
|
|
|
Using C<autouse> will move important steps of your program's execution
|
|
from compile time to runtime. This can
|
|
|
|
=over
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
Break the execution of your program if the module you C<autouse>d has
|
|
some initialization which it expects to be done early.
|
|
|
|
=item *
|
|
|
|
hide bugs in your code since important checks (like correctness of
|
|
prototypes) is moved from compile time to runtime. In particular, if
|
|
the prototype you specified on C<autouse> line is wrong, you will not
|
|
find it out until the corresponding function is executed. This will be
|
|
very unfortunate for functions which are not always called (note that
|
|
for such functions C<autouse>ing gives biggest win, for a workaround
|
|
see below).
|
|
|
|
=back
|
|
|
|
To alleviate the second problem (partially) it is advised to write
|
|
your scripts like this:
|
|
|
|
use Module;
|
|
use autouse Module => qw(carp($) croak(&$));
|
|
carp "this carp was predeclared and autoused ";
|
|
|
|
The first line ensures that the errors in your argument specification
|
|
are found early. When you ship your application you should comment
|
|
out the first line, since it makes the second one useless.
