Revision history for Perl extension Exporter::Simple.

1.10  Thu Nov 21 17:00:15 CET 2002
    - Another almost-TOTAL rewrite. Version 1.00 *was* beautiful, but didn't
      quite do what we wanted. Slaven Rezic pointed out that it was still
      necessary to declare our() vars in packages that imported from a module
      that used Exporter::Simple and asked if this requirement could be
      removed. The solution turned out to be somewhat involved (read the
      source for details). Basically the problem was that we exported
      everything during INIT, but perl complains if it doesn't find a
      variable in a package's symbol table during BEGIN. That's why the our()
      declaration was still necessary. Now I've reworked things so that
      scalars, arrays and hashes get exported during BEGIN, but subroutines

	  It's beautiful. And more proof of the old adage "if it's too
	  complicated, there's probably something wrong with it" - when
	  it's right, it's rather simple and elegant and things easily
	  fall into place.

	- Incorporated two patches sent by Richard Clamp in response
	  to bug reports by Mark Fowler (thanks guys). First, Makefile.PL
	  now contains Filter::Simple in its PREREQ_PM, and it builds with
	  a newer Attribute::Handler and Filter::Simple, which mess
	  around with our import() sub.

	- Changed source filter to insert lexical-inspecting code
	  at the end of the calling module
	- Added documentation effectively saying 'our attributes
