Mo::importer(3)

✨ Mo::importer 💅

okay bestie, so you know how this page is Mo::importer(3)? yeah. section 3, Perl land. it's giving "write your own import() extension" and honestly? iconic. 🎀

---

🌸 Name

Mo::importer — write your own import() extension 🫶

---

✨ Synopsis

package MyMo;

sub importer {
    my ($caller, @args) = @_;
    ...
}

use Mo qw[importer other features];

---

💖 Description

so like. sometimes you're out here living your life and you need to add your own logic during Mo::import time. not a want, a need. and this feature? it lets you do exactly that, no cap. you just define your own importer subroutine and Mo will come find it. 👑

when it calls you, it passes you the original caller pkg and the args that got passed in. that's the whole vibe. ($caller, @args) and you take it from there. 💅

---

🦋 Note

real talk: you need to define that importer sub before you use Mo .... for (hopefully) obvious reasons. :\ 😭

like, define it first. then use Mo. the order is the whole point, bestie, don't do it backwards and then act surprised. 🙈
