Well, no, because sometimes I just want to load something and not have functions exported (into whatever namespaces ends up calling this). So I might have something like:

plplerl.on_perl_init='use HTML::Entities ();'

Other times I might want those functions exported.

FWIW, Bricolage has a feature like this, and you can only put stuff on one line. It's been there since 2002 or so. No one has ever complained about it; I doubt anyone would complain about this, either.

Best,
