## NAME
    [Exporter::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Exporter%3A%3ATiny/markdown) - an exporter with the features of [Sub::Exporter](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Sub%3A%3AExporter/markdown) but only core dependencies

## SYNOPSIS
       package MyUtils;
       use base "[Exporter::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Exporter%3A%3ATiny/markdown)";
       our @EXPORT = qw(frobnicate);
       sub frobnicate { ... }
       1;

       package MyScript;
       use MyUtils "frobnicate" => { -as => "frob" };
       print [frob(42)](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/man/frob/42/markdown);
       exit;

## DESCRIPTION
    [Exporter::Tiny](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Exporter%3A%3ATiny/markdown) supports many of [Sub::Exporter](https://www.chedong.com/phpMan.php/perldoc/Sub%3A%3AExporter/markdown)'s external-facing features including renaming
    imported functions with the "-as", "-prefix" and "-suffix" options; explicit destinations with
    the "into" option; and alternative installers with the "installer" option. But it's written in
    only about 40% as many lines of code and with zero non-core dependencies.

    Its internal-facing interface is closer to Exporter.pm, with configuration done through the
    @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK and %EXPORT_TAGS package variables.
