cjcollier has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'd like to use a module named $module. I know that if I use strict that I can't do this. How would I get around this? And after I do so, how would I do something like
$object = new $module(%args);

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    See using a variable to specify which perl module to use, which you scrolled past in order to get to the input box to post your question. (:

    Though it doesn't cover some complications that can be had in some situations (but probably not yours) and you probably can just skip the import parts since you are using an OO module (and we could probably skip those in the other thread too).

    Look at perlreftut and perlootut.

    Don't go borrowing trouble. For programmers, this means Worry only about what you need to implement.

    Please remember that I'm crufty and crochety. All opinions are purely mine and all code is untested, unless otherwise specified.

      Thanks, I will. I think it's perltoot, though.
