Er, actually I think it is pretty trivial. Here is code that aliases the package DDS to the package Data::Dump::Streamer
##This all has to be one line for MakeMaker version scanning.
use Data::Dump::Streamer (); BEGIN{ *DDS:: = \%Data::Dump::Streamer:: } $VERSION=$DDS::VERSION;
1;
For a pure OO module its even easier.
So I don't actually think this problem is with Perl, more like its an issue for CPAN.
