chris,
if you have the time, this problem interests me.

is this a set of packages that you are marking?
or inherited from someone??? Or is this the
classic CPAN issue that package A requires
package B,C,D -
and one sees at the top of the package
package A;
use B;
use C qw/:std/;
use D;
and you only need a function that is completely 'local'
to only package A - and have not yet installed packages
B,C,D - which were 'requirements'?????

this is what leads me to my interest since you can pull
the trick off with
package A;
#use B;
#use C qw/:std/;
#use D;
so that you will not have to go through the 'use' time evaluation
that you have B,C,D packages and hence can cheat around with
my $got_answer = A::neat_function(@arglist);
If this is your set of packages - and you are in the 'development
phase' - there are other tricks you can play with here - such as
the 'use lib' variations.
When i was playing around with the DTK::Net::Web and DTK::Net::DI704
modules I found it simpler to have the 'rack and stack' of
use lib "/Users/drieux/perl/DTK/Net/blib/lib";
use lib "/Users/drieux/perl/DTK/Net/Web/blib/lib";
use lib "/Users/drieux/perl/DTK/Net/DI704/blib/lib";
use lib "$ENV{HOME}/lib/perl";
in the basic test code - since that would be where I would
'find' the *.pm files after running the top level make....
run the test code - if it worked, procede to the next round
of development - new test code - maybe it did not work,
say 'crude things', fix bug in test code or appropriate module
run the make... run the test....
ciao
