Perl's require builtin (and its use wrapper) requires the files it loads to
|
|
return a true value. This is usually accomplished by placing a single
|
|
|
|
1;
|
|
|
|
statement at the end of included scripts or modules. It's not onerous to add but
|
|
it's a speed bump on the Perl novice's road to enlightenment. In addition, it
|
|
appears to be a non-sequitur to the uninitiated, leading some to attempt to
|
|
mitigate its appearance with a comment:
|
|
|
|
1; # keep require happy
|
|
or:
|
|
1; # Do not remove this line
|
|
or even:
|
|
1; # Must end with this, because Perl is bogus.
|
|
|
|
This module packages this "return true" behaviour so that it need not be written
|
|
explicitly. It can be used directly, but it is intended to be invoked from the
|
|
import method of a Modern::Perl-style module that enables modern Perl features
|
|
and conveniences and cleans up legacy Perl warts.
