Hello monks.

What is the best way to install a module with an optional alias? One example I know is Data::Dump::Streamer beeing aliased to DDS. A problem is that DDS is using EUMM, which I am told is not sexy. I prefer using Module::Build. Do you know any similar aliasing stuff for MB?

The background is, I frequently use a ToolSet for one-liners, which I simply use via perl -My -e 'say sum 1..10' The y ToolSet provides fast access to any OO module by exporting Class::Autouse => ":superloader", some autouses for List::* extended builtins (thanx for ToolSet v1.00 making this possible) and some Package::Aliased long Modules.

Ok, back to the question. What I want is to configure Build.PL to optionally install the module ToolSet::y with the alias "y". I personally believe a well behaved (not living in the root namespace) one-liner ToolSet would be nice to have on CPAN.
