Most exalted Perl Monks,

I have sought my answer in your pages without success, perhaps for want of the proper keywords. Apologies if my humble query has been addressed already.

I have several modules which begin,

package MyPkg;

use v5.18;

use strict;
use warnings;

use Data::Dumper;
use feature qw(state say);

use Scalar::Util qw(blessed);

use Cwd qw(cwd abs_path);

use parent "MyPkgParent";

use PkgSpecificNeed;

1;
[download]

...which I would like to have read

package MyPkg;

use MyCommonUses;

use parent "MyPkgParent";

use PkgSpecificNeed;

1;
[download]

Is there some special way to construct a putative MyCommonUses.pm such that its details are not spread throughout my code? A bonus would be some way to dispense with the inelegant one-semicolon.

Thank you in advance,

-SM
