try to use Module in Perl and print message if module not available

Question

I wanted to be able to do this in Perl (the code below is Python lol)

try:
  import Module
except:
  print \"You need module Module to run this program.\"
         


        

Answer 1

use strict;
use warnings;
use Module;

If you don't have Module installed, you will get the error "Can't locate Module.pm in @INC (@INC contains: ...)." which is understandable enough.

Is there some particular reason you want/need a more specific message?
