Re^4: Getting rid of "new" (aliased.pm)

Oh, and that last example would need to be use aliased 'alias'; to meet my best practices. I suspect your module doesn't support that, so I doubt I'll be using it until that gets fixed. :)

To be honest, the name alias conflicts with a function in the module Data::Alias by xmath, which IMO is much more interesting, to get the rights to use the name.

I wish perl5 had an easy way to import stuff into names of your own choice.

It'd be a moderately simple change to Exporter to support: `use aliased qw( aliasMod=alias ); use Data::Alias qw( aliasData=alias ); use Lexical::Alias qw( lexAlias=alias );` [download] and one that I've long expected to happen. But you'd have to get aliased.pm to support being passed an argument destined for Exporter.pm, of course. - tye	[reply] [d/l]
