G'day Rolf,

Short answer: no.

The module that I'm working on is part of a series, all of which use the Moose framework. The dynamic_require() idea seemed like a nice thing to have; but, at the end of the day, if it doesn't work with Moose for some reason, I can live without it.

In earlier testing with the real module, I did find that hard-coding the $source into a test file worked fine, even with multiple instances (e.g. the source generated with "Test1" and "Test2").

The problem does seem to be somewhere in dynamic_require(); however, I've no idea where that might be. The fact that it works once, but not twice, is just very puzzling.

Short answer: I'm willing to look into it as soon as Moose is not involved in your SSCCE ! :)

(Moose doesn't qualify as "short" or "self contained" in my book ;-)

Out of curiousity, I took Moose out of the equation. There was no change to the problem; however, if you or someone else can solve the non-Moose issue, I suspect that solution can probably be applied to the Moose version.

I've made no changes to the module structure: just added a new() routine; changed extends to use parent; and so on. Everything is pretty much the same except all classes are now prefixed with Mooseless.

MooselessRequireHookTest.pm:

package MooselessRequireHookTest;

use 5.032;
use warnings;

sub new {
    my ($class) = @_;

    return bless {} => $class;
}

sub dynamic_require {
    my ($self, $ns_extension) = @_;

    {
        my $class = join '::', __PACKAGE__, $ns_extension;
        my $source = <<~EOF;
            package $class;
            use parent 'MooselessRequireHookTest';
            1;
            EOF
        my sub for_inc {
            my ($coderef, $filename) = @_;
            return \$source
        };
        my $for_inc_ref = \&for_inc;
        push @INC, $for_inc_ref;
        eval "require $class;";
    }

    return;
}

OK, that's fine. Thanks for taking the time to make some guesses.
