Load module conditionally and export variables

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I normally load my modules depending if the script runs on Windows or on Mac with the following:

use if $VersionOS eq 'Win', LWP::UserAgent::ProxyAny;
[download]

Now I have the quite stupid problem that I need to declare the variables that need to be exported, for example:

use if $VersionOS eq 'Win', Win32::OLE::Const qw( Microsoft.Word);
[download]

...which does not work. Any ideas?

As documented in if, what comes after the `use if` is a list (like any other import list). Try e.g. `use if $VersionOS eq 'Win', 'Win32::OLE::Const', qw(Microsoft.Word);`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
