Don't make a closure. Just assign the typeglob.

This would not solve my problem (sorry if I was not precise enough about this). If I would adapt your example for my application, it would look more like: 

package ForeignModule;
sub NEXT { print scalar caller }
=================================
package Foo;
use ForeignModule qw(NEXT);
sub do_something { NEXT(); }
sub import {
    my $target = caller;
    no strict 'refs';
    *{"$target:\:do_something"} = \&do_something;
}
=================================
package main;
use Foo;
do_something();

This would print 'Foo', but I would like to have it printed 'main'. This can be accomplished using, for instance, the eval "package ...." mechanism.
