Is this useful for all programs regardless of whether they use classes or not?

    It's useful (or can be) in programs that use use. Note that use (quoting the documentation) is equivalent to: 

        BEGIN { require Module; import Module LIST; }

    [download]

    and "import Module List" is "Module->import( List )", which is "using a class" even if 'Module' isn't object-oriented.

    If you never use use, then that code will never matter.
