What is the difference between Use and Require.[..]
The easiest way to think about it was that once upon a time we wanted to have 'functions' that would be in 'perl libraries' - so there needed to be a directive that indicated that the code 'required' certain things - such as a minimum version of perl, or a named perl library.
the idea of the 'use Foo::Bar' on the other hand is about indicating that the perl compiler merely need to know that we will be using a perl Module that is external to this file and that it will
a. look for Bar.pm in some sub_directory Foo
that is in the @INC path b. either directly invoke the 'import()' method
of that module - or invoke it with a list of
tokens that will be imported...So as the other person noted,
What exactly are you interested in knowing about them?
