Cool. That's one of the applications for which I thought it might be useful. I don't think that use base will work because it doesn't call import. You could do it in two steps, though: 

package Restaurant::People::Cook;

use Restaurant::People; # A ToolSet module
our @ISA = qw( Restaurant::People );

I suppose I could add a method to ToolSet that adds the ToolSet module to the caller's @ISA. Then you'd get the imports and set up a subclass.

ToolSet->set_base(1);

The other approach would be to explicitly set base modules, so it doesn't necessarily have to be the ToolSet module: 

ToolSet->set_base('Restaurant::People');

[download]

Any preference?
