+=head2 Exporting without inheriting from Exporter
+
+By including Exporter in your @ISA you inherit an Exporter's import() method
+but you also inherit several other helper methods which you probably don't
+want. To avoid this you can do
+
+  package YourModule;
+  use Exporter qw( import );
+
+which will export Exporter's own import() method into YourModule.
+Everything will work as before but you won't need to include Exporter in
+@YourModule::ISA.
