How can I dynamically include Perl modules without using eval?

Question

I need to dynamically include a Perl module, but if possible would like to stay away from eval due to work coding standards. This works:

$module = \"My::modu         


        

Answer 1

How about using the core module Module::Load

With your example:

use Module::Load;
my $module = "My::module";
load $module;

"Module::Load - runtime require of both modules and files"

"load eliminates the need to know whether you are trying to require either a file or a module."

If it fails it will die with something of the like "Can't locate xxx in @INC (@INC contains: ...".
