Even in that case, I still wouldn't add ";1" to the evaluated string. In your example, use warnings would be complaining about concatenating an undefined value. Instead I'd probably go with
my $MODULE_WAS_LOADED = !! eval "require 'bar.pl'";
Or perhaps even:
my $MODULE_WAS_LOADED = 0+!! eval "require 'bar.pl'";
(which might look nicer in the debugging output).
