That won't work with Perl 5.005 (qw doesn't automatically return a list context that you can dereference). There is some utility to your proposal, but the problem I'm having is more conceptual. All other instances where you pass parameters to a module via the 'use' line, it is typically passed as a list. Granted, in those cases it is more typically key => value pairs. I can go either way, I guess...
