~~Well, not too much more elegant but you could use autouse~~

#!/usr/bin/perl

#
# Bad code - will not work 
#

use strict;
use warnings;

if ($^O eq 'MSWin32') {
        use autouse 'MyMod_W32' => qw( bar );
} else {
        use autouse 'MyMod' => qw( bar );
}

bar();

update: Well that's what happens when you post untested code! This will not work. Duh. The 'use' happens at compile time. The last bar defined is the first one used.

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.
