I've uploaded it to CPAN, but the namespace registration seems to be taking a while. VA is for Versioning and Aliasing. I suppose I can make that more obvious where it's stated in the =head1 NAME section. Add something like _prefix? I'm thinking of
use SomeModule -rename => ['prefix_bar', 'bar', v2.4 ]
where the version is optional, and the "target" parameter can be a name to use or a reference to set, so you can grab a versioned import without modifying your namespace at all. I've not decided on a good name yet; -rename doesn't convey the ref ability and I want a name that better suits the target=source,version ordering of the parameters.

I've not read your Exporter::Dream node yet. I see bbfu and theorbtwo already pointed you to my earlier work. I'll read your node carefully soon, and see what kind of ideas you have.
