Yo!

Say I have a base class, which I want another class to extend.

In that base class, I'd like to propagate a use'd lib into the class which is extending it... how would I do this?

Sorry, for some reason I"m really having a tough time figuring out how to word this to make sense...

Here's a really terse example which will hopefully make things clearer:

package Base;

#use base qw( Carp ); # don't want to do that...
use Carp;

sub new { # do stuff, blah - you know the routine }

package Foo;

use base qw( Base );

# ... no good, don't wanna do '$self->carp'
#sub some_method { my $self = shift; $self->carp("died") }

# would rather just call it normaly, as if it were
# use'd directly from within this package:
sub some_method { my $self = shift; carp "died" }

Thanks!

Also, while I'm here - one other oop perl thing that's had me stumped for awhile.

So, I'm use'ing a really long-ass class path: 

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;

use MyLibs::ForSome::Particular::Thing;

# ugh!
#my $fubar = MyLibs::ForSome::Particular::Thing->new()

# how about:
my $fubar = Thing->new();  # ???

Is it convieniently possible to do such a thing? It's a pet peeve of mine.

Beers!
