Need Help??

in reply to Getting Module Names Dynamically and using it

If you already have the filenames then just use them in conjunction with require e.g

require $_
  for @modules;

Then you can execute the class methods like so:

my @tables = map $_->table_name, @module_names;
[download]

I don't think the latter part of that will work -- the OP said that the list is of filenames, e.g. "lib/Foo/Bar/Baz.pm", not package names, e.g. "Foo::Bar::Baz". And if the list were of package names, they would need to be converted to filenames to be used with require in the way you suggest, or instead be called in an eval:

# if @modules contains package names, not filenames
eval "require $_" for @modules;
[download]

The OP might want to look at Module::Require or UNIVERSAL::Require and see if either would be applicable/helpful for this situation.
