OK, it's probably not called an alias but I don't know the proper term. I've been exploring prime number generation algorithms and after putting the various routines in primes.pm I thought it would be neat to name the fastest simply primes as so:
# set up an alias for the fastest prime generator *primes = \&sieve_eratosthenese_lucky; and export primes but it doesn't work: Undefined subroutine &main::primes called at ./primes.pl line 176 I can put the same statement in a file that imports sieve_eratosthenese_lucky but that's not what I really wanted. Is there a way to setup such an alias in the *.pm that will be correctly exported or am I faced with having to rename the fastest routine? Thanks, Mike -- Satisfied user of Linux since 1997.
