I tried to use this with a hybrid module containing a class implementation and few functions (legacy code) exported using Exporter, and after few days struggling found two problems:

1) This code will not call SUPER::import when it's imported by itself because of the first return.
2) Exporter uses caller() to populate the namespace, which is broken by this.

My modified code is here:

sub import {
    my $pkg = shift;

    if ($pkg ne __PACKAGE__) {
        foreach my $meth ( qw(foo bar) ) {
            $pkg->can($meth) or croak("Class $pkg does not define meth
+od $meth");
        }
    }

    my $is_exp = $pkg->isa('Exporter');
    $Exporter::ExportLevel++ if $is_exp;
    $pkg->SUPER::import(@_);
    $Exporter::ExportLevel-- if $is_exp;
}
