Good morrow scholars. I have a script that loads a whole lot of files and modules at the front and this takes a long time 1-2 seconds which has become disgruntling. I was just naively wondering if there is a way to only load modules if one needs them? i.e. to put some of the require (I assume use is no use (lol)) statements into certain subroutines so that those files/modules are loaded only if subroutines are actually called. Or is this doomed to failure because everything is loaded and compiled at compile time so no time savings are feasible?
thanks for any tips.
Brother James.

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).
