The namespace copy has to happen at compile-time. Perl won't respect runtime namespace replacement, since it optimizes away global variable lookups into static addressing at runtime....

    Works if you iterate over the namespace instead of trying to do it in one shot.

    For slinging around globs, you might find this snippet illustrative. Basically a very small exporter.

    Why not just use set up the module to by default, export everything you're interested in. Then it's a matter of just adding the "use" statement to each module/script, (but they're already using it right?).
