I wanted the same thing so I wrote Exporter::Easy. It's a frontend to Exporter, it allows you to do

use strict;

package MyModule;

use Exporter::Easiest qw(
    :base => $base1 $base2
    :extra => $extra1 $extra2
    :bonus => $bonus1 $bonus2
    :useful => $extra1 $bonus1
    :useless => :extra :bonus !:useful
    :no_bonus => :all !:bonus
  EXPORT => :base
  ALL => all
  OK => $not_exported_by_default
);

$base1 = 1;
$base2 = 2;

this code

• sets up @EXPORT, @EXPORT_OK and %EXPORT_TAGS
• makes the class inherit from Exporter
• defines a tag called :all that represents all the symbols
• does a use vars for you on the variables that occur in the export spec.

I think this does everything you're looking for.
