UPDATE: This *could* be bad advise, see the reply node at Re^2: Help Changing use into require/import by stevieb.

The way I do this, certainly there are other ways:

my $HAVE_Capture_Tiny = 0;
eval "use Capture::Tiny qw(capture)";
if ( !$@ ) {
    $HAVE_Capture_Tiny = 1;
}

...

if ( $HAVE_Capture_Tiny ) {
    my $c = Capture::Tiny->new( ... );
} else {
   ## fallback if not have Capture::Tiny
}

UPDATE 2: Based on the nodes below, my new way of doing this:

use strict;
use warnings;

# Instead of:
#
# use Module::Name 1.00 qw(:subs);
#
# do this:
my $HAVE_Module_Name;
BEGIN {
    $HAVE_Module_Name = eval {
        require Module::Name;
        Module::Name->VERSION( 1.00 );
        Module::Name->import( qw ( :subs ) );
        1;
    };
}

if ($HAVE_Module_Name) {
    print "Module::Name = $Module::Name::VERSION\n";
} else {
    print "Module::Name = [NOT INSTALLED]\n";
}
