in reply to use (all)

Perhaps autoload can help you avoid having to use them all always?. If not, how about this:

opendir (DIR,"/path/to/dir") or die "Can't readdir: $!"; foreach my $module (grep /\.pm$/, readdir(DIR)) { require "/path/to/dir/$module"; $module =~ s/\.pm$//; import $module; } closedir DIR;

I haven't tested this, so you might have to mess with the syntax to require and import.
