The module is very simple.  During "new" (which will be called when you
USE the plugin from TT) the module looks for

 @FILTERS
 @FILTERS_STATIC
 @FILTERS_DYNAMIC

In the package of the current class, and if they're there does the correct
calls to context's define_filter method to add those subroutines as
filters (or subroutines that call those subroutines as filters.)

So, no there's nothing like EXPORT_OK or EXPORT_TAGS.  Everything is
always exportedI thought about it - adding control - I could
possibly do something with the arguments to the USE.  But in the end
I decided it would overcomplicate issues.  It's probably easier just to
have one or two filters that you export with each plugin.  Filters
*shouldn't* clash with normal varibles anyway (I don't think the parser
works like that).

Later.

Mark.
