Hi,
I have a module that provides some exposed methods and has other methods that are private. Some of the private methods themselves use some private methods that are private just to them. An conceptual example would be the following:
directories structure:

.
|-- Word.pm
|-- WordExposed
|   |-- Languages.pm
|   `-- LanguagesPrivate
|       |-- French.pm
|       `-- Italian.pm

files:

# foo.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
use lib ('/path_to_Word_pm');
use Word;
my $word = Word->new();
$word->set('apple','it');



# Word.pm
package Word;
use strict;

use Class::Struct;
use WordExposed::Languages;

struct Word => {
    english      => '$',
    language     => '$',
    translation  => '$',
};

sub set {
    my $self = shift();
    my $english = shift();
    my $language = shift();
    $self->english($english);
    $self->language($language);
    $self->_translate();
}
1;

The Word module is using the Languages modulethat provides the _translate() method. Languages is using some other methods that are private and used only there. 
# Languages.pm
package WordExposed::Languages;

our @ISA       = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT    = qw( _translate );
our @EXPORT_OK = qw();

sub _translate {
    my $self = shift();
    if ($self->language eq 'fr') {
        $self->_traduction();
    } elsif ($self->language eq 'it') {
        $self->_traduzione();
    }
}
1;

# French.pm
package WordExposed::LanguagesPrivate::French;
our @ISA       = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT    = qw( _traducion );
our @EXPORT_OK = qw();
sub _traducion {
    my $self = shift();
}
1;

# Italian.pm
package WordExposed::LanguagesPrivate::Italian;
our @ISA       = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT    = qw( _traduzione );
our @EXPORT_OK = qw();
sub _traduzione {
    my $self = shift();
}
1;

I'd like to come up with using WordExposed::LanguagesPrivate::French; and WordExposed::LanguagesPrivate::Italian; only in Languages.pm, so that I can simply put use WordExposed::Languages; in Word.pm and bury everything within Languages.pm.

I hope this example is clear enough. Thanks for suggestions.
