Re: How to alias a whole namespace to another namespace (in this case main::)

This should work:

  no strict refs;
  *{$target_package . "::"} = *{$source_package . "::"};
[download]

For example:

  *{"main::"} = *{"foo::"};

Modification of a read-only value attempted Sorry, I'd never tried aliasing over main that way; I guess the root package name is more special than the others.	[reply]
