.SH "NAME"

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
.Sh "What's an Exporter?"
.IX Subsection "What's an Exporter?"
When you \f(CW\*(C`use\*(C'\fR a module, first it is required, then its \f(CW\*(C`import\*(C'\fR method is
called.  The Perl documentation tells us that the following two lines are
equivalent:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  use Module LIST;
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  BEGIN { require Module; Module->import(LIST); }
.Ve
.PP
The import method is the module's \fIexporter\fR.
.Sh "The Basics of Sub::Exporter"
.IX Subsection "The Basics of Sub::Exporter"
Sub::Exporter builds a custom exporter which can then be installed into your
module.  It builds this method based on configuration passed to its
\&\f(CW\*(C`setup_exporter\*(C'\fR method.
.PP
A very basic use case might look like this:
.PP
.Vb 3
\&  package Addition;
\&  use Sub::Exporter;
\&  Sub::Exporter::setup_exporter({ exports => [ qw(plus) ]});
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  sub plus { my ($x, $y) = @_; return $x + $y; }
.Ve
.PP
This would mean that when someone used your Addition module, they could have
its \f(CW\*(C`plus\*(C'\fR routine imported into their package:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  use Addition qw(plus);
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  my $z = plus(2, 2); # this works, because now plus is in the main package
.Ve
.PP
That syntax to set up the exporter, above, is a little verbose, so for the
simple case of just naming some exports, you can write this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  use Sub::Exporter -setup => { exports => [ qw(plus) ] };
.Ve
.PP
\&...which is the same as the original example \*(-- except that now the exporter is
built and installed at compile time.  Well, that and you typed less.
.Sh "Using Export Groups"
.IX Subsection "Using Export Groups"
You can specify whole groups of things that should be exportable together.
These are called groups.  Exporter calls these tags.  To specify groups, you
just pass a \f(CW\*(C`groups\*(C'\fR key in your exporter configuration:
.PP
.Vb 8
\&  package Food;
\&  use Sub::Exporter -setup => {
\&    exports => [ qw(apple banana beef fluff lox rabbit) ],
\&    groups  => {
\&      fauna  => [ qw(beef lox rabbit) ],
\&      flora  => [ qw(apple banana) ],
\&    }
\&  };
.Ve
.PP
Now, to import all that delicious foreign meat, your consumer needs only to
write:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&  use Food qw(:fauna);
\&  use Food qw(-fauna);
.Ve
.PP
Either one of the above is acceptable.  A colon is more traditional, but
barewords with a leading colon can't be enquoted by a fat arrow.  We'll see why
that matters later on.
.PP
Groups can contain other groups.  If you include a group name (with the leading
dash or colon) in a group definition, it will be expanded recursively when the
exporter is called.  The exporter will \fBnot\fR recurse into the same group twice
while expanding groups.
.PP
There are two special groups:  \f(CW\*(C`all\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`default\*(C'\fR.  The \f(CW\*(C`all\*(C'\fR group is
defined by default, and contains all exportable subs.  You can redefine it,
if you want to export only a subset when all exports are requested.  The
\&\f(CW\*(C`default\*(C'\fR group is the set of routines to export when nothing specific is
requested.  By default, there is no \f(CW\*(C`default\*(C'\fR group.
.Sh "Renaming Your Imports"
.IX Subsection "Renaming Your Imports"
Sometimes you want to import something, but you don't like the name as which
it's imported.  Sub::Exporter can rename your imports for you.  If you wanted
to import \f(CW\*(C`lox\*(C'\fR from the Food package, but you don't like the name, you could
write this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  use Food lox => { -as => 'salmon' };
.Ve
.PP
Now you'd get the \f(CW\*(C`lox\*(C'\fR routine, but it would be called salmon in your
package.  You can also rename entire groups by using the \f(CW\*(C`prefix\*(C'\fR option:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  use Food -fauna => { -prefix => 'cute_little_' };
.Ve
.PP
Now you can call your \f(CW\*(C`cute_little_rabbit\*(C'\fR routine.  (You can also call
\&\f(CW\*(C`cute_little_beef\*(C'\fR, but that hardly seems as enticing.)
.PP
When you define groups, you can include renaming.
.PP
.Vb 6
\&  use Sub::Exporter -setup => {
\&    exports => [ qw(apple banana beef fluff lox rabbit) ],
\&    groups  => {
\&      fauna  => [ qw(beef lox), rabbit => { -as => 'coney' } ],
\&    }
\&  };
.Ve
.PP
A prefix on a group like that does the right thing.  This is when it's useful
to use a dash instead of a colon to indicate a group: you can put a fat arrow
between the group and its arguments, then.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  use Food -fauna => { -prefix => 'lovely_' };
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  eat( lovely_coney ); # this works
.Ve
.PP
Prefixes also apply recursively.  That means that this code works:
.PP
.Vb 7
\&  use Sub::Exporter -setup => {
\&    exports => [ qw(apple banana beef fluff lox rabbit) ],
\&    groups  => {
\&      fauna   => [ qw(beef lox), rabbit => { -as => 'coney' } ],
\&      allowed => [ -fauna => { -prefix => 'willing_' }, 'banana' ],
\&    }
\&  };
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  ...
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  use Food -allowed => { -prefix => 'any_' };
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  $dinner = any_willing_coney; # yum!
.Ve
.PP
Groups can also be passed a \f(CW\*(C`\-suffix\*(C'\fR argument.
.PP
Finally, if the \f(CW\*(C`\-as\*(C'\fR argument to an exported routine is a reference to a
scalar, a reference to the routine will be placed in that scalar.
.Sh "Building Subroutines to Order"
.IX Subsection "Building Subroutines to Order"
Sometimes, you want to export things that you don't have on hand.  You might
want to offer customized routines built to the specification of your consumer;
that's just good business!  With Sub::Exporter, this is easy.
.PP
To offer subroutines to order, you need to provide a generator when you set up
your exporter.  A generator is just a routine that returns a new routine.
perlref is talking about these when it discusses closures and function
templates. The canonical example of a generator builds a unique incrementor;
here's how you'd do that with Sub::Exporter;
.PP
.Vb 5
\&  package Package::Counter;
\&  use Sub::Exporter -setup => {
\&    exports => [ counter => sub { my $i = 0; sub { $i++ } } ],
\&    groups  => { default => [ qw(counter) ] },
\&  };
.Ve
.PP
Now anyone can use your Package::Counter module and he'll receive a \f(CW\*(C`counter\*(C'\fR
in his package.  It will count up by one, and will never interfere with anyone
else's counter.
.PP
This isn't very useful, though, unless the consumer can explain what he wants.
This is done, in part, by supplying arguments when importing.  The following
example shows how a generator can take and use arguments:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  package Package::Counter;
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 6
\&  sub _build_counter {
\&    my ($class, $arg) = @_;
\&    $arg ||= {};
\&    my $i = $arg->{start} || 0;
\&    return sub { $i++ };
\&  }
.Ve
.PP
.Vb 4
\&  use Sub::Exporter -setup => {
\&    exports => [ counter => \e&_build_counter ],
\&    groups  => { default => [ qw(counter) ] },
\&  };
.Ve
.PP
Now, the consumer can (if he wants) specify a starting value for his counter:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  use Package::Counter counter => { start => 10 };
.Ve
.PP
Arguments to a group are passed along to the generators of routines in that
group, but Sub::Exporter arguments \*(-- anything beginning with a dash \*(-- are
never passed in.  When groups are nested, the arguments are merged as the
groups are expanded.
.PP
When a generator is called, it is passed four parameters:
.IP "* the class on which the exporter was called" 4
.IX Item "the class on which the exporter was called"
.PD 0
.IP "* the name of the export being generated (not the name it's being installed as)" 4
.IX Item "the name of the export being generated (not the name it's being installed as)"
.IP "* the arguments supplied for the routine" 4
.IX Item "the arguments supplied for the routine"
.IP "* the collection of generic arguments" 4
.IX Item "the collection of generic arguments"
.PD
.PP
The third item is the last major feature that hasn't been covered.
.Sh "Argument Collectors"
.IX Subsection "Argument Collectors"
Sometimes you will want to accept arguments once that can then be available to
any subroutine that you're going to export.  To do this, you specify
collectors, like this:
.PP
.Vb 6
\&  use Menu::Airline
\&  use Sub::Exporter -setup => {
\&    exports =>  ... ,
\&    groups  =>  ... ,
\&    collectors => [ qw(allergies ethics) ],
\&  };
.Ve
.PP
Collectors look like normal exports in the import call, but they don't do
anything but collect data which can later be passed to generators.  If the
module was used like this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  use Menu::Airline allergies => [ qw(peanuts) ], ethics => [ qw(vegan) ];
.Ve
.PP
\&...the consumer would get a salad.  Also, all the generators would be passed,
as their third argument, something like this:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&  { allerges => [ qw(peanuts) ], ethics => [ qw(vegan) ] }
.Ve
.PP
Generators may have arguments in their definition, as well.  These must be code
refs that perform validation of the collected values.  They are passed the
collection value and may return true or false.  If they return false, the
exporter will throw an exception.
.Sh "Generating Many Routines in One Scope"
.IX Subsection "Generating Many Routines in One Scope"
Sometimes it's useful to have multiple routines generated in one scope.  This
way they can share lexical data which is otherwise unavailable.  To do this,
you can supply a generator for a group which returns a hashref of names and
code references.  This generator is passed all the usual data, and the group
may receive the usual \f(CW\*(C`\-prefix\*(C'\fR or \f(CW\*(C`\-suffix\*(C'\fR arguments.
