What does 'local' make local here? Only the assignment of the slot
$EXPANDED_ALIASES{$alias}? Or the whole %EXPANDED_ALIASES? If the latter,
does this copy the existing %EXPANDED_ALIASES before the assignment is
made; otherwise, how can this work if only ever a single slot of
%EXPANDED_ALIASES is filled in?

(Disclaimer: I'm not a perl expert, obviously, and I didn't test your patch.)
