in reply to use base 'XYZ' and exporting

This is trivial to break: 

require MyOOModule;
use base 'MyOOModule';

[download]

Or just use the module in more than one place. Only the first place will have the potential to do this auto-import.

It'd make more sense to change your import() to be able to set the caller's inheritance: 

use MyOOModule qw( -ISA ... );

[download]

Or however you want to name the option.

    Hrm, that's an interesting idea. That second idea will work for my purposes.
