Re^2: How do you get around the lexical scoping of use pragmas?

Well, a more usual approach would to be to use whatever templating or skeleton facilities your editor provides (something like tempo mode or skeleton mode for Emacsen; I'm sure a vim using heathen will chime in with what they use :) to start off new programs from a base with everything you normally use.

Even if your editor doesn't provide such a facility natively you can always write your own template once and then copy that into a new file (perhaps even getting fancy and using Template Toolkit or the like to fill in variable parts).

Indeed. In fact I have used Komodo's template facility to do that in the past, except that it's pretty much as quick to type the two use lines so mostly I don't bother with the template. OP's immediate problem seems to be different however - 50+ (presumed existing) files that need to be updated. Sounds like a Perl script to me rather than editor fu.
