in thread RFC: new.pm - a perl -e use/new shortener

A ">" would clash with shell metacharacters and require escaping. I'm thinking of something like
x=My::Class:Name.method arg arg ....
instead. Both x and method default to "new" if omitted, which is at least consistent with the module name.

    Hi

    > x=My::Class:Name.method arg arg

    I suppose you meant x=My::Class::Name.method arg arg with double colon after Class :)

    But apart of this, it looks good for me!

    I tested the call with -M and -m with a fake module which just print the args of the import() , using my oldest available perl(brew) version.

    $ perl -MNew=X=Y::Y::Y.meth,1,2,3 -e'print "$]\n"' New , X=Y::Y::Y.meth , 1 , 2 , 3 5.006002 $ perl -mNew=X=Y::Y::Y.meth,1,2,3 -e'print "$]\n"' New , X=Y::Y::Y.meth , 1 , 2 , 3 5.006002
