I agree that it should be lowercased; yes, there are modules on CPAN
that look like pragmas (such as only). I personally would prefer,
however, that the name tell me that it's doing something more than
loading a class; "class" and "module" don't do that.
However, this code reads very well:
use module 'Foo::Bar' as 'Bar';
use package 'Foo::Bar' as 'Bar';
And this does not read as well (at least, in English):
use aka 'Foo::Bar' as 'Bar';
My suggestion;
use aliasing to 'Bar', 'Foo::Bar';
With the upside that "aliasing" also clearly states what the module
does.
