Perl Export (2)

Hi all,

I'm new to SWIG. I'm using it to interface Perl and C.
I've noticed that the generated .pm did not export the symbols:

<at> EXPORT = qw ();

Thus, it forces a client program to prefix each symbol with the name of the package or
to do a "pakage <name>;"
If a program uses more than one package, it can be messy to switch between the namespaces.

Is there a way to force the export of the Perl symbols in the generated .pm ?

Many thanks
Julien CLEMENT.

You can add any Perl code you like by using %perlcode (see the Perl 
section of the manual).
