Exporting namespace elements when package is in same file as main

[puterboy]

(disclaimer: I know that putting packages in the same file as 'main' is discouraged, but in this case I need to have it all in one file for distribution)
When a package is in a separate file, I know I can export various namespace elements by using:

require Exporter;
our @ISA = qw(Exporter);
our @EXPORT = qw(name1 name2 name3 ...);

Then when I include that package using 'use mypackage;', the namespace elements are available to my main routine.

Now in my case, the packages lie within the same file as my main routine (I surround each package with a 'BEGIN { }' block) so I don't need to (and can't) use 'use' to include the package and its exported namespace elements.

So, is there some way that I can 'import' the exported symbols when the package where they are exported is in the same file as main?

Package::Name->import;

# or
Package::Name->import( ... );

Thanks! Works perfectly!

BEGIN {
    package Whatever;
    $INC{'Whatever.pm'} = __FILE__;
    use Exporter 'import';
    @EXPORT_OK = qw< ... >;
    ...
}
package main;
use Whatever qw< ... >;
...

Just pimping Exporter::Shiny as it takes away some of the hassle...

use strict;
use warnings;

BEGIN {
    package MyUtils;
    
    use Exporter::Shiny qw( answer );
    
    sub answer {
        return 42;
    }
}

use MyUtils { prefix => 'my_' }, qw( answer );

print my_answer(), "\n";
