In my TODO is an entry for implementing this for Sub::Exporter. You don't even need to use AUTOLOAD: * create Some::Long::Generated::Package * import symbols from Foo::Bar into SLGP, wrapping each with sub { shift; $original_code->(@_) } * export Bar() into the calling package sub Bar () { "Some::Long::Generated::Package" } hdp.
