Is there a way to make C<require> or C<use> fail without manipulating

Check out Devel::Hide. I've never used it, but it's supposed to do that.
Another strategy is to take advantage of the fact that require fails if
a module doesn't end with a true value. Zero-length files work fine for
this purpose.
In a private lib directory create zero-length files for all the modules
you want to fail.
D'oh. I shoulda taut a dat. I tried defining sub Module::import {die}
which works for C<use>, but not C<require>. I thought of pushing coderef
on @INC, but it don't work for older perls. Ivan's suggestion of
Devel::Hide, while doing exactly what I want, unfortunately requires
perl > 5.8.
This should work perfectly.
Thanks,
Randy.
