Hello
computergeek and welcome to the monastery and to the wonderful world of Perl!
You can also be interested into Module::Load::Conditional
PS also note that the folowing works:
perl -e " my $rc;
BEGIN{
+
$rc = eval{require Capture::Tiny;
Capture::Tiny->import ('capture');
1;
}
}
if ($rc){
($SpoolFile->[0],$CMDERR[0],$ReturnCode)=capture{sy
+stem qq[ echo Hello, World | cat ]};
print join ', ', $ReturnCode, $SpoolFile->[0];
}
"
0, Hello, World
Infact use is equivalent to BEGIN { require Module; Module->import( LIST ); } as per use docs.
PPS see also some other links about compile time / run time

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).
