Does new 'use' keyword automatically set $USED_PACKAGES entry or not?
No it just makes sure that this file hasn't been required twice. Do we want it to do something else? Yes, I think Stig talked about setting $USED_PACKAGES["foo"] = <full path to foo> when 'use foo' is used.
I thought he meant that as in pseudo code, and not really keep it in that $USED_PACKAGES variable. As a rule I think we should avoid using globals at all, I think it opens an endless amount of possible security breaches, and generally isn't a Good Thing. How about a function, get_used_packages() that would return such an array? Zeev -- Zeev Suraski <zeev@zend.com> http://www.zend.com/
