Re4: use Very::Long::Module::Name as Foo;

Wouldn't you have to transform Foo::Bar::Baz to Foo/Bar/Baz.pm, to make it work with require?

No, because it is a source filter. It changes source such as: `use Very::Long::Module::Name as Foo;` [download] to: `BEGIN {{"Foo::"} = \{"Very::Long::Module::Name::"}}use Very::Long::M +odule::Name;` [download] essentially aliasing the stashes of the Foo namespace with the Very::Long::Module::Name namespace at compile time. So this is before anything is required under "use"s hood. Liz	[reply] [d/l] [select]
