Sometimes (not often), I find that I want to change my namespace dynamically. Typically this is done in a string eval and all code in that namespace needs to be in that string. What I'd like to do is something like this:

{
    switch_to_namespace($namespace);

    $some_class->require;
    $some_class->import(@list);
}

I can just wrap that in an eval, but that loses my compile-time syntax checking. I'd prefer to avoid that.

I assume that this is actually compile time behavior which can't be overridden, but I've been wrong before and I'd be happy to be wrong now.

Cheers,
