Dear monks,

there are some situations where I need to use/require a class from a variable (say $class). The way I do that is by:

eval "require $class";
if ( $@ ) {
    die "Can't load $class: $@";
}
my $obj = $class->new;

...or something to that effect, i.e. by using a string eval. This feels wrong (perlcritic complains about it also). What's the right way?

Thanks!
