By carrying out your suggested test, I identified the two modules as process.pm and changenotify.pm.
I looked in both modules and could see both had INFINITE in the EXPORT. However, I could not recognize where either defined what INFINITE meant. Therefore I suspect that there is some incompatibility between these two.
You also said “If the other place that imports it doesn't have a way to prevent it too, then a work-around would be to use it inside a dummy package. It is only used in one line, so delegate that line to a function in that inner package, which you call from the main code.”
Although I have just Perl for some years it would help if you could give some more details.I guess I should know(!) but I simply do not understand what you mean particularly with the ‘so delegate’ part of it.

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).
