NAME
   Exporter::Simple - Easier set-up of module exports

SYNOPSIS
     package MyExport;
     use base 'Exporter::Simple';

     our @bar : Exportable(vars) = (2, 3, 5, 7);
     our $foo : Exported(vars)   = 42;
     our %baz : Exported         = (a => 65, b => 66);

     sub hello : Exported(greet,uk)   { "hello there" }
     sub askme : Exportable           { "what you will" }
     sub hi    : Exportable(greet,us) { "hi there" }

     # meanwhile, in a module far, far away
     use MyExport qw(:greet);
     print hello();
     $baz{c} = 67;

DESCRIPTION
   This module, when subclassed by a package, allows that package to define
   exports in a more concise way than using "Exporter". Instead of having
   to worry what goes in @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK and %EXPORT_TAGS, you can use
   two attributes to define exporter behavior. This has two advantages: It
   frees you from the implementation details of "Exporter", and it keeps
   the export definitions where they belong, with the subroutines and
   variables.

   The attributes provided by this module are:

   "Exported"
       Indicates that the associated subroutine or global variable should
       be automatically exported. It will also go into the ":all" tag (per
       the rules of %EXPORT_TAGS), as well as any tags you specify as
       options of this attribute.

       For example, the following declaration

         sub hello : Exported(greet,uk)   { ... }

       will cause "hello()" to be exported, but also be available in the
       tags ":all", ":greet" and ":uk".

   "Exportable"
       Is like "Exported", except that the associated subroutine or global
       variable won't be automatically exported. It will still go to the
       ":all" tag in any case and all other tags specified as attribute
       options.
