Bug #52314 for Package-Alias: More robust "aliasing"

Subject:

More robust "aliasing"

The attached patch adds useful functionality to the module to allow truer substitution of one module for another by twiddling %INC. If &alias works can be used at run/INIT/BEGIN- time, it may want to be explicitly documented?

Doh, probably want to remove the warn "foo\n"; A debug line from trying to figure out why it doesn't work with aliasing Mouse to Moose. Apparently Mouse makes some gross assumptions about how thing should be done, and does lots of deep magic to prevent this from working. Normal stuff aliases with use fine though.

Revised patch that removes debug info and uses INIT to delay the namespace aliasing so that Mouse can be mapped to Moose.

Final patch

More robust implementation. Turns out INIT wasn't the solution, and there was no way to make Mouse happy within the module itself, because of use's calls to import... so a work-around was found and documented. The Mouse work-around is unfortunately kind of large, but I've suggested to the Mouse maintainers that Any::Moose be switched to use Package:::Alias and obscure that from the end-user, at which point it could be removed and a simple SEE ALSO be added.
