Sorry? If I understand it right the module provides some constants
and you want to give the users of the module a way to import them
under a different name? Right?
Then what's the problem with
package Foo;
use constant MY_CRAZY_NAME => 1.4787648;
package main;
use constant DOH => Foo::MY_CRAZY_NAME;
print DOH + 2, "\n";
?
