There are many ways to to that.

Study Modern::Perl by chromatic for a nice way to import modules as a bundle into your current namespace.

If you use 5.18, then the use feature qw(state say) is redundant afaik.

You could also write a file, say, header.pl containing use statements,and write your MyCommonUses.pm as

package MyCommonUses;
use strict;
use warnings;
my $header  = '/path/to/header.pl';
my $content = do {local $/; open my $fh,'<',$header or die; <$fh> }
    or die "couldn't load common use statements, aborted";

sub import {
    my $caller = caller;
    eval "package $caller; $content;";
    strict->import;
    warnings->import;
}
1;

so you have to edit only the common header file to add or remove packages.

A bonus would be some way to dispense with the inelegant one-semicolon.

Easy. Skip 1;, write 

"sigh."
