I don't understand your response. I copied the imports from Hoogles Data.Map page. What should the imports be?

I'm trying to understand Map type for possible use in another problem I'm working on, but am stymied right off the bat.
==========Here's my source:
import Data.Map (Map) import qualified Data.Map as Map
*Main> fromList $ zip l1 l2
<interactive>:1:0: Not in scope: `fromList'
You imported map "qualified as Map", that means that only 'Map.fromList' and 'Data.Map.fromList' are in scope, and not 'fromList'. The reason one normally does it like this is that a lot of function names clash with the Prelude (on purpose). Normally one uses "qualified as M" or "qualified as Map" to shorten the notation.
