Glad chip answered the question ... but why are you doing this? Sure it is neat, but are you planning on using this in production code? Or are you just experimenting with import/export? Personally, while i do find exporting to be handy, i think that importing is a Bad Idea™ Why? Because you can do the same thing in a cleaner fashion with OO. 

my $foo = Foo->new({pid => $$});

print $foo->pid;

package Foo;
use Class::MethodMaker
   new_hash_init => 'new',
   get_set       => [ qw /foo bar pid/ ]
;

Now, what's going on behind the scene with that code is another story. But i don't have to maintain that, now do i? ;)

But thanks for asking ... i learned a little something today because of it.
