Neither is Alpha.  Open Source == Free Software == You can edit the source,
redistribute it, and you don't have to pay for it.  Since you are required
to pay for Alpha, it is not Open Source.  Please see the Open Source
Definition (OSD) on http://www.opensource.org/ for more information.

But as to the original point, yes, import is not a perl keyword, but it
does enjoy special status in Perl.  Calling import() on a packgae that does
not have it defined will not generate any errors or warnings, and it is
called automatically by a use.
