It is a method, so the 1st argument will be the package/class name ;) 
C:\>perldoc -f import
    import  There is no builtin "import" function. It is just an ordinary
            method (subroutine) defined (or inherited) by modules that wish
            to export names to another module. The "use" function calls the
            "import" method for the package used. See also "use", perlmod,
            and Exporter.
jacques (or anyone wanting to learn about modules) should read `perldoc -f perlmod' and the documentation it references. 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;

package foy;
use Data::Dumper;
sub import {
   print Dumper \@_;
}
package main;
BEGIN {
    $INC{'foy.pm'} = __FILE__; # if you're interested in this part, pe
+rldoc -f use
}

eval q{
    use foy qw[ a b c d e f g h ];
};
__END__
$VAR1 = [
          'foy',
