Re^5: Is require still required?

This is all stated in the documentation for require, inclusive the role of %INC:

if (exists $INC{$filename}) {
    return 1 if $INC{$filename};
    croak "Compilation failed in require";
}

To import a fle more than once you have to delete from %INC of course.

perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'

> (I've seen this in production, don't ask). Yes, because keys in %INC are the paths. Edit But if I wanted to reload the required file, I'd rather use an explicit %INC hook doing it explicitly without leaving a key at all. Though I have trouble imagining a use case...
