: =head1 ABSTRACT
:
: Perl should provide a mechanism to have common code autoloaded from a
: file.
:
: =head1 IMPLEMENTATION
:
: Make perl look for the rc files.
I'm not sure about this.
Rather than perl looking for it. Perhaps the pragma perlrc* should look
for it.
Think on this:
use perlrc qw/Resource1 Resource5/; # Import only named 'Resources'
use perlrc qw/:all/; # Import all 'Resources'
use perlrc qw/:punc_vars/; # Import userdefined group of 'Resources'
This way, it's a 'use it if you ask for it' type of mechanism. On the
command line, the default action may be to import all 'Resources' defined
( Can we do that? )
perl -Mperlrc -nle 'print "Blah"'
Or some such.
This sounds much more managable than a .perlrc that get's applied globaly
without asking for it.
* No, this doesn't exist right now. I know.
