<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Given what you are trying to do, I suppose
you want to force export somehow. (In other words, I assume you have many
program files that you want to just add one line “use MyLogs;” and be done, and
not have to add the aliasing line into each individual code file.) You might
try the following, which is probably a little controversial, but might suit
your purposes. </span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">In the module file “<a target="_blank" href="http://MyLog.pm">MyLog.pm</a>”, try ending
it with a reset to “pachage main”, and then do the export (or “alias”)
operation. So the module file would end like this:</span></font></p>
