Yes, POE also provide a similar mechanism, that's why I was
thinking to provide a generic module to do that.
But I like neither the name nor the interface. How about this:
package BigApp::Report;
use subclass qw(..::Utils Create Publish);
# loads BigApp::Utils, BigApp::Report::Create,
BigApp::Report::Publish
"subclass" would imply more OO semantic than I'd like, as the
module just loads others modules, but I agree it's a better name
than "relative" and I can't find a better one.
Also agreeing for the API change. I know I was pondering about
using ".." but can't remember why I didn't.
Would it also do
use relative [to => 'My::Big::Namespace'] => qw( This That
Munger::Fast Munger::Precise );
?
