Exporter::easy makes using exporter easy. in it's simplest case it allows you to drop the boilerplate code that comes with using exporter. in more complicated situations where you use tags to build lists and more tags, it will set @export, @export_ok, @export_fail and %export_tags in the current package, add exporter to that package's @isa and do a use vars on all the variables mentioned. the rest is handled as normal by exporter.
