No. I mean "the brackets are clunky, particularly with the qw() inside
them".

"would be" 1:1.
It's too bad the () isn't an option, so we have to struggle with [] vs
[qw(...)] and whether or not to attempt parsing a list. Maybe
something involving '--', but then there's a quoting hassle again. In
all, the [qw(...)] is probably the easiest unless you want to read the
source of caller()'s file and look for a () :-O.
Anyway, this is an unchecked eval, and always-on.
# import the symbols from the loaded module into the caller module
eval qq{ package $caller; $module->import };
