Instead of using a global variable in the caller's package, I wonder if it mightn't be better to pass a reference to the variable to be used into the module when it's use'ed, like so:

package Transactions;

our $Object;

sub import {
  my $class = shift;
  $Object   = shift;

  # somehow fall back to Exporter::Tidy?
  # goto &Exporter::Tidy::import; maybe?
}

...

sub transaction(&) {
  ...
  eval {
    $$Object->begin_work();  # double $ because it's a ref-to-a-ref
    $block->();
  }
  ...
}

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    my $dbh = DBI->connect(...);

    use Transactions \$dbh;
    
    transaction {
        for (1..10) {
            my $sth = $dbh->prepare(...);
            $sth->execute() or rollback;
        }
    };

Just a thought. :) Of course, it makes it a little bit harder to integrate with Exporter::Tidy. *shrug*
