is $foo implicitely declared as our or my (or state or temp)? IMHO it'd be better to be explicit: my $foo = uses Some::Module::That::Defines::A::Class; our $bar = uses Some::Module::That::Defines::A::Class; Or, requiring C<use> to return it's first argument (IIRC a Class object): my $qux = use(Some::Module::That::Defines::A::Class).new(...); If C<use>'s argument is a Module object, C<use> should return the first class of that module. I like the C<use(...).new(...)> form the best, because it allows you to pass parameters to C<new>.
