Re: Using Moo.pm and compilation errors

eval swallows all errors. This is not what you want if you suspect compile-time errors in your code. Instead, use require, especially when using OO-style modules:

...
my $class="MHE::" . $opts->{type};
my $filename= $class) =~ s!::!/!g;
require "$filename.pm";
...

Alternatively, you can check $@ after the eval for errors:

    eval "use MHE::$opts->{type} qw(sendHeartbeat); 1"
        or die "Couldn't load 'MHE::$opts->{type}': $@";

require "$filename.pm"; :) Module::Load is core long time :) `$ perl -e"use Module::Load; load q/longtime/; " Can't locate longtime.pm in @INC (@INC contains:...` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

Great! I didn't know that module. I reused the code that parent.pm uses to load classes. The sad thing is that parent still supports 5.8.x and Module::Load came into (core) existence in 5.9.x and I'm somewhat reluctant to ditch one regex for another `use` line in parent.pm. But for all my other module-loading needs, Module::Load is a welcome find!	[reply] [d/l]

Thanks! That works brilliantly. I was assuming the error was in Moo, rather than the eval.	[reply]

Just for clarity, the eval or did not work, so I used the following code: `eval "use MHE::$opts->{type} qw(sendHeartbeat)"; die "Couldn't load 'MHE::$opts->{type}': $@" if $@;` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

What do you mean by "didn't work"? Have you added the 1 at the end of the eval? لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]
