I'd say that declaring it where it is used _is_ the best way to do it.
It doesn't hurt to declare what prereqs a module has at the top of a
module, and it'll make it clearer what it's using. This is doubly true
when you're importing functions into a new namespace. It's really
annoying to see some random function used in a module and then try to
figure out where it might've come from.
OK, thanks I can see the merit in that. But on the other hand is it
really a good idea to put the same 'use' statement so many times in what
could amount to 20 or more controllers? Is there a start-up penalty if I
have to load multiple modules in each controller separately instead of
once each in MyApp.pm?
