By default, types defined in a package are never visible outside of the package. When you inherit from this package, all the types you define internally become available via exports. The exported types are available through the importing package's C subroutine. By default, types your package imports are not re-exported: package MyApp::Type::Library; use parent 'Specio::Exporter'; use Specio::Declare; use Specio::Library::Builtins; In this case, the types provided by L are not exported to packages which C. You can explicitly ask for types to be re-exported: package MyApp::Type::Library; use parent 'Specio::Exporter'; use Specio::Declare; use Specio::Library::Builtins -reexport; In this case, packages which C will get all the types from L as well as any types defined in C. =head1 ADDITIONAL EXPORTS If you want to export some additional subroutines from a package which has C as its parent, define a sub named C<_also_export>. This sub should return a I of subroutines defined in your package that should also be exported. These subs will be exported unconditionally to any package that uses your package. =head1 COMBINING LIBRARIES WITH L You can combine loading libraries with subroutine generation using L by using C<_also_export> and C: package My::Library; use My::Library::Internal -reexport; use Specio::Library::Builtins -reexport; use Specio::Subs qw( My::Library::Internal Specio::Library::Builtins ); sub _also_export { return Specio::Subs::subs_installed_into(__PACKAGE__); } =head1 SUPPORT Bugs may be submitted at L. I am also usually active on IRC as 'autarch' on C. =head1 SOURCE The source code repository for Specio can be found at L. =head1 AUTHOR Dave Rolsky =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is Copyright (c) 2012 - 2017 by Dave Rolsky.
