This software feature enables renaming of symbols during import, allowing users to customize how symbols are labeled within the software.
If you're looking to add the ability to rename symbols to the Exporter module in Perl, then Exporter::Renaming is the module for you. With this module, you can not only import symbols from exporting modules under their original names, but also under names of your choice.
In this context, a symbol can refer to anything that could be exported by a Module, such as a Perl function or variable. A symbol begins with an optional type character, followed by a name (alphanumeric and underscore, starting with a non-digit).
To enable renaming in Exporter, simply use Exporter::Renaming. To import symbols from another module and rename them, use the Renaming keyword in the import list of a subsequent use statement. This is followed by a list reference that describes the renaming imports, which is then followed by your chosen normal import list.
To disable renaming, simply use "no Exporter::Renaming." Exporter::Renaming is an excellent module for those looking to add more flexibility to their symbol renaming in Perl.
