Why use this strange variant of package name?
dbix-class, perl
Solution
Perl doesn't care about whitespace and comments between `package` and the package name, but the PAUSE indexer does. It won't index packages that look like that. The DBIx::Class folks don't want that class indexed.
Another (more standard) way of doing this is the `no_index` key in the META.json or META.yml file.
Problem
Could someone explain me for which goals programmers use this variant "package name" like in that file SQLite.pm from DBIx::Class module? Full listing: ``` package # Hide from PAUSE DBIx::Class::SQLAHacks::SQLite; use warnings; use strict; use base qw( DBIx::Class::SQLMaker::SQLite ); 1; ``` Why the name of package is written on other line after 'package'?
