Re^4: What happens when you load the same module twice?

No. It has nothing at all to do with importing names twice. Not convinced? Run this code:

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

use File::Basename ();   # Not calling import!
BEGIN {delete $INC{"File/Basename.pm"}};
use File::Basename ();   # Not calling import!
__END__

Can we now please stop this myth that redefining subroutines has anything to do with import?
