Hi,
first of all you should import with the ":syntax" import option to avoid
some collateral effects that should happen only in the main module:
use Dancer ':syntax';
Second, looking at the code the import mechanism is quite bare-bones and
does not allow you to perform selective import. Considering that you have
control upon the module that needs Dancer, do you think that you can rename
your "sub params" in some other way? I think it should be better for you too
- having two "params" requires a switch of mental context at each edit file
change.
Cheers,
Flavio.
