I've already been experimenting with something like the import function you've shown. But by "no such facility exists in Exporter" I mean that you can't have the following in your module:

  package MyModule;

  use Exporter;

  @ISA = qw( Exporter );

  @EXPORT_OK = qw( mysub anothersub );

  @ATTRIBUTES = qw( foo bar );

[download]

so that in your module you could use:

  use MyModule qw( anothersub ), { foo => 1 };

[download]

It would be a good feature for Exporter. (Ideally one would specify required attributes and maybe specify types, default values, etc.).

UPDATE: Ok, I've corrected the formatting. Didn't realize CODE was converted to PRE.
