Thanks, I am using the BEGIN block ... instead of creating another module

You don't need a BEGIN {} block to import/export or touch %ENV (icky like a code smell potentially almost), just simply make another module :) do stuff in import, it takes args 

use Local::TouchEnvFirst; ## import
use Local::TouchEnvSecond  -optionFantastic;
use Local::TouchEnvSecond  -optionNotFantastic;
no Local::TouchEnvFirst; ## unimport
no Local::TouchEnvSecond -tooComplicated;
use Local::Madness -init => sub {
   warn "if you gotta run me, go ahead :)";
};

Does the light bulb turn on? :)

What I still don't understand is why use subs lost this race. Say:

Same reason, it doesn't define the subroutine, its a forward declaration, its exactly like this literal code 

sub TestMe;
BEGIN { TestMe }
sub TestMe { warn "oh no you didn't" }
__END__
$ perl testme
Undefined subroutine &main::TestMe called at testme line 2.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at testme line 2.
