First tip. Get in the habit of using @EXPORT_OK rather than @EXPORT. You can thank me when you are debugging and are trying to find where scotch comes from.

The usual way to solve this problem is to import and re-export. But that is what you don't want to do. So what else can we do?

Well the underhanded way to do what you want is:

use CGI::Application::Plugin::Session;
sub import {
    my $package = "CGI::Application::Plugin::Session";
    $_[0] = $package;
    goto $package->can("import");
}

But that is kind of magic. And won't work if you want to do the re-export trick more than once. After peeking at Exporter carefully, you should be able to do the same thing as the above with the following:

use CGI::Application::Plugin::Session;
sub import {
    shift; # Throw away my class
    my $call_package = caller();
    my $export_package = "CGI::Application::Plugin::Session";
    Exporter::export($export_package, $call_package, @_);
}

And the advantage of this is that if you wanted to do this trick for multiple packages you could look in the @EXPORT and @EXPORT_OK lists for each, and call export on each while passing through the right arguments.

Update: GrandFather noted a missing ')'. Fixed.
