Stuff with the Perl Foundation. A couple of patches in the Perl core. A few CPAN modules. That about sums it up.

Sometimes you use a module and you don't want everything it exports. Or perhaps it exports nothing.

use from 'Some::Module' => qw/func1 func2/; # or use from 'Some::Module' => func1 => { as => 'munge' }, # alias to avoid conflicts 'func2';

As a concrete example (this allows me to reimplement the other functions it exports by default):

use from 'Test::Exception' => 'throws_ok';

Stupid?
