Advice? While this example is contrived, the "eval
{ require ... }" idiom is used often in the wild, so this is not a
wholly unrealistic scenario.
Of course it should be
eval { require Bar; 1; } or die $@;
But I agree that it seems like if the load failed in your eval, it
should fail for Test::More, too. But maybe even a failed require
sets the record in %INC?
In this case, Bar.pm is intended to represent optional functionality
that Foo.pm conditionally loads. So, adding a die would be
counterproductive. The problem is that I don't know how to
distinguish between a load failure or a compile failure. There must
be a way to do that right?
