Imports some semantics into the current package from the named
module, generally by aliasing certain subroutine or variable
names into your package. It is exactly equivalent to
BEGIN { require Module; import Module LIST; }
except that Module *must* be a bareword.
Therefore, it's calling a class method in your module called "import".
Create your own import method, instead of inheriting Exporter's import,
and you're all set.
