1. If the module in question inherits its import() subroutine from the Exporter.pm you are right you do not lose anything. If on the other hand the module has its own import(), you may get a nasty surprise. The module may expect it's import() to be called.
2. While MyModule::foo(); doesn't sound too bad, but imagine you'd have to prepend each and every constant with the package name: my $Array = Win32::OLE::Variant->new(VT_ARRAY|VT_R8, [1,2], 2);
vs.
my $Array = Win32::OLE::Variant->new(Win32::OLE::Variant::VT_ARRAY|Win
+32::OLE::Variant::VT_R8, [1,2], 2);
I think you are exagerating. Also ... keep in mind that the more text you write, the more likely it is that you make a mistake. It's more likely to mistype Win32::FileOp::Delete(... than Delete(....

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).
