in reply to Module Naming Dilemma

What do you mean sort of alters compile-time behaviour?

My first reaction is also "No!" because so far it sounds similar to modules such as

and/or 
use Module::Blah qw[ yada yada ];
use constant Boing => 'Module::Blah';

    Can you suggest a better name? I need something short and sweet. As for "sort of alters compile time behavior", it doesn't really, but it has the appearance of doing so. Thus, a pragma named "class" seemed reasonable. The name bothers me, but I honestly can't think of a serious objection to it. "aliased" might also be good:

    use aliased "Some::Obnoxiously::Long::Name::For::A::Customer";
my $cust = Customer->new;

      How about namespace::not? namespace::lite? oo::a? Now that you've divulged how it works, maybe you can contact the author of namespace and add an option for it to work like your implementation? or just go with namespace::lite?

        Unlike namespace, I'm not trying to mimic C++ behavior. However, I can understand the similarity. However, just extending that namespace makes my module name long(er) again. Much of the point of this module is to simplify things. When I have to type more characters in my module name than the module who's name I'm trying to shorted, it kinda misses the point.
