* Package name : libuniversal-require-perl Version : 0.10 Upstream Author : Michael G Schwern <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://search.cpan.org/~mschwern/UNIVERSAL-require-0.10/ * License : GPL (>= 1) or Perl Artistic Description : require modules from a variable If you've ever had to do this... . eval "require $module"; . to get around the bareword caveats on require(), this module is for you. It creates a universal require() class method that will work with every Perl module and its secure. So instead of doing some arcane eval() work, you can do this: . $module->require; . It doesn't save you much typing, but it'll make alot more sense to someone who's not a ninth level Perl acolyte. . Also provided is a use() method which works in a similar way. NOTE ---- This used to be provided as part of the libuniversal-exports-perl package but upstream has now decided to split it out. Most people were installing libuniversal-exports-perl just to get at the functionality of libuniversal-require-perl. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.11.10 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
