in thread 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.

    No. That was the point of the string eval.
