Hmm, assuming that it's just evaled then you could probably stash a
sub in one of the extension scripts that runs early in the compile
process, and then:
PERL SMTP qw{fw net}
gives you the "smarter macro" feature.
(It does depend what package you're evaling stuff in - ideally they
should all be tossed into a private namespace, so you don't
accidentally redefine parts of shorewall-perl)
It is not immediately apparent how to get the same effect from the
shell version. Maybe something with scripts and the search path?
