=over =item import LIST X<import> There is no builtin L<C<import>|/import LIST> function. It is just an ordinary method (subroutine) defined (or inherited) by modules that wish to export names to another module. The L<C<use>|/use Module VERSION LIST> function calls the L<C<import>|/import LIST> method for the package used. See also L<C<use>|/use Module VERSION LIST>, L<perlmod>, and L<Exporter>. =back
