Day 3: shorter package names with aliased

Day 1 saved us some characters (for FindBin), but this was just once per script. With aliased you ease typing of long class names:

use aliased 'Rose::HTML::Form::Field::DateTime' => 'DateField';
my $dt = DateField->new(...);

When you leave out the second argument, your alias is 'DateTime' (which would be a bad idea, because this clashes with the CPAN module DateTime).

If you have a complex class structure under a common name space, have a look at aliased::factory.
