description of what I'm planning to contribute:
firstof.pm: A pragmatic module that allows you to give a list of
alternative modules to attempt to load. firstof.pm will attempt to load
the first module, and failing that will attempt to load the second module,
and so on.
Main use would be to load a 'fall back' module if the desired module is
not installed (most likely to be a superclass of the desired module)

where have you discussed this:
On london perlmongers' list : [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also at
London.pm meetings.
additional:
firstof might not be the best name (though 'use firstof <list>' is quite
nice syntax)
