Maybe this does what you want ( sorry, no typeglobs involved ;-> ): (http://search.cpan.org/~ovid/aliased-0.20/lib/aliased.pm) <quote> SYNOPSIS # Class name interface use aliased 'My::Company::Namespace::Customer'; my $cust = Customer->new; <snip> -- Alas, I tried namespace, aliased, type-globbing all to no avail. Its possibly because its not a method, but instead a constant field i.e. its documented as: - main::abc::def::ghi::scripting::logging::TraceLevel public static final Java.lang.string ALL Hence obviously cant do TraceLevel->ALL as above-mentioned modules desire. Pity cos everything else in Inline::Java works a treat for me (APIs, exceptions, instance members etc). If anyone can think of any other ideas that'd be great - I'm sure others have to access more than just Java methods from classes they're using...and $big::long::name is evil!
