Not able to export methods using Exporter module in perl - perl

Question

I'm trying to export the methods written in my custom module using Exporter perl module. Below is my custom module ops.pm
use strict;
use warnings;
use Exporter;
package ops;
our #ISA= qw/Exporter/;
our #EXPORT=qw/add/;
our #EXPORT_OK=qw/mutliply/;
sub new
{
my $class=shift;
my $self={};
bless($self,$class);
return $self;
}
sub add
{
my $self=shift;
my $num1=shift;
my $num2=shift;
return $num1+$num2;
}
sub mutliply
{
my $self=shift;
my $num1=shift;
my $num2=shift;
return $num1*$num2;
}
1;
Below is the script ops_export.pl using ops.pm
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use ops;
my $num=add(1,2);
print "$num\n";
when i execute the above script i'm getting below error.
Undefined subroutine &main::add called at ops_export.pl line 8.
I'm not getting why my script is checking in &main package even though i have exported the add in ops.pm using #EXPORT
Where am i going wrong?

Answer 1

ops is a pragma already used by Perl. From the docs:
ops - Perl pragma to restrict unsafe operations when compiling
I don't know what that actually means but that's the issue here.
Rename your module to something else, preferably something with uppercase characters as #simbabque suggests in a comment, because lowercase "modules" are somehow reserved for pragmas (think of warnings or strict).
Also: Calling your add function won't work because you mix up OO code and regular functions. Your add expects three parameters and you supply only two (1 and 2).
When writing OO modules you shouldn't export anything (not even new), i.e.:
package Oops;
use strict; use warnings;
use OtherModules;
# don't mention 'Export' at all
sub new {
...
}
sub add {
...
}
1;
And then in your scripts:
use strict; use warnings;
use Oops;
my $calculator = Oops->new();
my $result = $calculator->add(1, 2);
print $result, "\n"; # gives 3
