# Exporter::Tiny(3pm)

an exporter with the features of Sub::Exporter but only core dependencies

## NAME

Exporter::Tiny - an exporter with the features of Sub::Exporter but only core dependencies

## SYNOPSIS

```
   package MyUtils;
   use base "Exporter::Tiny";
   our @EXPORT = qw(frobnicate);
   sub frobnicate { ... }
   1;
   package MyScript;
   use MyUtils "frobnicate" => { -as => "frob" };
   print frob(42);
   exit;
```

## DESCRIPTION

Exporter::Tiny supports many of Sub::Exporter's external-facing features including renaming imported functions with the `"-as"`, `"-prefix"` and `"-suffix"` options; explicit destinations with the `"into"` option; and alternative installers with the `"installer"` option. But it's written in only about 40% as many lines of code and with zero non-core dependencies.

Its internal-facing interface is closer to Exporter.pm, with configuration done through the `@EXPORT`, `@EXPORT_OK` and `%EXPORT_TAGS` package variables.
