thanks for your clarification RonW
So using a BEGIN block inside a module to be used it's like to say: as soon as possible or even sooner.
#TestBegin.pm
use strict;
use warnings;
BEGIN{print "inside BEGIN in the module ",__FILE__,"\n"}
print "in the module ",__FILE__,"\n";
1;
perl -e "print qq(in the program $0\n);BEGIN{print qq(BEGIN in the pr
+ogram $0\n)}" -MTestBegin
inside BEGIN in the module TestBegin.pm
in the module TestBegin.pm
BEGIN in the program -e
in the program -e
And the only possibility to fail is:
perl -e "print qq(in the program $0\n);BEGIN{print qq(BEGIN in the pr
+ogram\n)}use TestBegin;"
BEGIN in the program
inside BEGIN in the module TestBegin.pm
in the module TestBegin.pm
in the program -e

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
