Dear monks,

I've been playing around with the Sub::Exporter module off CPAN. I like the way you can set up custom subroutines depending on the arguments passed to your module. My question is, how do you do this (pass arguments to build custom routines) using the -m flag in a one-liner?

Here is a simple example:

$ cat > Communicate.pm
package Communicate;

use 5.010_000;

use strict;
use warnings;

sub build_greeter {
    my ( $class, $name, $arg ) = @_;

    return sub {
        my $person  = shift            // 'World';
        my $comment = $arg->{greeting} // 'Hello';

        say sprintf '%s, %s!', $comment, $person;
    }
}

use Sub::Exporter -setup => {
    exports => [ greet => \'build_greeter' ],
};

1;

$ cat > communicate.pl
#! perl

use 5.010_000;

use strict;
use warnings;

use lib '.';

use Communicate greet => {
    greeting => 'Well-done',
    -as      => 'say_to',
};

say_to('Nelo');

exit 0;

Now when I run communicate.pl I get the output I expect:

$ perl communicate.pl 
Well-done, Nelo!
[download]

Currently the following one-liner works:

$ perl -I. -e 'use Communicate greet => { greeting => q{Good job}, -as
+ => q{say_to} }; say_to(q{Nelo})'
Good job, Nelo!
[download]

But I wondering if this could also work with the -m flag to get the same result and if so, how?

$ perl -I. -mCommunicate=greet<what would go in here?> -e 'say_to("Nelo")'

Thanks =)

Ps: This is just to satisfy my curiosity. I could very well use the one-liner as it stands above.
