In that case you're going to have to load one, then dig around in its
guts to move the subroutines to another namespace, then load the second
one. There's probably some ugly code you could rip out of
Sub::WrapPackages to help get you started.

It'll probably still break though if anything uses package-scoped
variables.  Yuck.
