> Unless Windows, most of the rest of the world of automation is case-sensitive

maybe it's relevant here to remark that use on WIN will show a split personality.

the require will be case insensitive but the import will fail, because the latter expects a case sensitive package name

this will lead to somehow schizophrenic error conditions.

C:\tmp\pm>perl -MData::Dumper -we"print Dumper [1..3]"     # Correct C
+asing, NO Problems
$VAR1 = [
          1,
          2,
          3
        ];

C:\tmp\pm>perl -MdAtA::DuMpER -we1                         # NO Error 
+Msg on Win

C:\tmp\pm>perl -MdAtA::DuMpER -we"print Dumper [1..3]"     # BUT won't

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
