I have a Perl module and I'd like to be able to pick out the parameters that my my module's user passed in the "use" call. Whichever ones I don't recognize I'd like to pass on. I tried to do this by overriding the "import" method but I'm not having much luck.
EDIT:
To clarify, as it is, I can use my module like this:
use MyModule qw/foo bar/;
which will import the foo and bar methods of MyModule. But I want to be able to say:
use MyModule qw/foo doSpecialStuff bar/;
and look for doSpecialStuff to check if I need to do some special stuff at the beginning of the program, then pass qw/foo bar/ to the Exporter's import
