NAME

alias::module - Alias one module as another

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of alias::module (from Perl distribution alias-module), released on 2018-12-15.

SYNOPSIS

 package Your::Alias::Name;
 use alias::module 'Some::Real::Module::Name';

To avoid require()-ing:

 use alias::module '-norequire', 'Some::Real::Module::Name';

DESCRIPTION

This module aliases one module name to another.

 package Your::Alias::Name;
 use alias::module 'Some::Real::Module::Name';

is equivalent to:

 package Your::Alias::Name;
 BEGIN {
     $Package::Alias::BRAVE = 1;
     require Some::Real::Module::Name;
 }
 use Package::Alias 'Your::Alias::Name' => 'Some::Real::Module::Name';

except that this module does not use Package::Alias and is simpler. It is useful if you want to let users access a module's functionality under a different (usually shorter) name.
