Yeah, sure, all over. Maybe check the book again. It is used in some 
examples, sure. And it even explains how it works. Don't forget that most 
of the book was written around 1998. Yes, 8 years ago.

You can even find examples on my site that use imported functions (which I 
will fix, because I frown upon it :-) ). But I doubt you can find a 
majority in the perl community that *encourages* the use of imported 
functionality.
