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";
}

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.
