I don't think it's more difficult to call a require(), use() helps in
the bigger scheme of things, like determining the scope of your
variables and methods, and making sure you package similar functions
together. use() also makes sure at compile time that the libraries are
available, whereas require() only checks at runtime.
There's more to the difference between the two, and you may want to
read up the documentation for the details.
According to the documentation, use Module is just:
BEGIN { require Module; import Module; }
So, the only differences between the two are:
* use() always happens at compile time (which seems to cause more
trouble than it solves)
* use() calls the import function in the module (which would
probably be empty, for a class module)
* use() requires that you use a bareword for the module name (might
be nice, if I could solve the @INC path problem)
