Here's a different way, also using a 'as.pm', but no source
filters. Usage:
use as Name => "Very::Long::Class::Name", args ...;
And this is the code:
package as;
use strict;
use warnings;
sub import {
my $class = shift;
die "Usage: 'use as Name => Very::Long::Class::Name [args...]'"
unless @_ >= 2;
my $caller = caller ();
my ($short, $long) = splice @_ => 0, 2;
no strict 'refs';
@{"${short}::ISA"} = $long;
eval <<" --";
package $caller;
require $long;
$short -> import (\@_) if $short -> can ("import");
--
die $@ if $@;
}
1;
This follows a similar syntax as 'use if CONDITION, MODULE => ARGS'.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
