Yes, it is possible:

BEGIN {
    *CORE::GLOBAL::require = sub {
        my $file = shift;
        $file =~ s,^My/,Another/,;
        CORE::require($file)
    };
}

use Data::Dumper;
use My::Foo;

I think the important part is that the CORE::GLOBAL::require function must be imported into the namespace, not just defined. This makes some difference in how the GV entry looks, but I cannot remember why this is or was important.

It becomes somewhat more complicated if you want to get the error messages right as well (you have to use string eval() for the CORE::require() call and prefix the call inside the string with a #line directive with information from caller()).

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• 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).
