The problem with a source filter approach is that it can very easily run over program data or conflict with existing filters. Personally, I would've thought a straight-forward import approach would've been easiest e.g
package allow_as; use Carp 'croak'; sub import { my($pkg, %args) = @_; return unless exists $args{as} and length $args{as}; croak "Symbol table '$args{as}' already exists" if defined *{"$args{as}\::"}; *{"$args{as}\::"} = *{"$pkg\::"}; } 1; =pod =head1 USAGE package Your::Very::Long::Name::Here; use base 'allow_as'; sub import { ## perhaps you want your own import code? $_[0]->SUPER::import(@_[1 .. $#_]); } ## later use Your::Very::Long::Name::Here ( as => 'yvlnh', other => [qw/user parameters perhaps?/], ); =cut
This doesn't work as globally as your filtering mechanism, but it also follows in the footsteps of Exporter of allowing the user to simply inherit the module to enable aliasing (which may not always be desirable, like the ability to export random methods). Also, the reason I stuck with the aliasing route is that it is much cleaner than simply using @ISA. It means that objects are blessed into the original package and not the inherited alias, which will keep any introspection consistent, saves avoids dispatching every method call, and it really is an alias as opposed to a quick work-around.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
