Perl Programming/Keywords/use

The use keyword

use imports some semantics into the current package from the named module, generally by aliasing certain subroutine or variable names into the calling package. It is exactly the same as

BEGIN { require Module; Module->import( LIST ); } 

with the exception that Module must be a bareword.

Syntax

 use Module VERSION LIST  use Module VERSION  use Module LIST  use Module  use VERSION
