What happens if you have two commands that get 'perlified' to the same name? 

use Shell 'foo.bar', 'foo-bar';

Perhaps the import should die in that case. To accomodate this need, perhaps you could allow an explicit mapping? 

use Shell 
    # Command      # sub name  
    ['foo.bar'  => 'foo_dot_bar' ], 
    [ 'foo-bar' => 'foo_dash_bar'],
    [ $^O =~ /Windows/ 
      ? 'copy' 
      : 'cp'    => 'cp'
    ];
