Re: A funny module that shortens one-liners - is it worth global namespace?

Hello everyone,

>  1perl -e '$x = My::Very::Long::Module->new( foo => 42 ); print $x->foo'

Good point. And there's also L module https://metacpan.org/pod/L which does
more or less what I propose. So I think this topic is covered. =)
