Re: How best to require subclasses at runtime

I'm using eval "use $m"; to solve a similar problem.
I'm interested in learning other options too.

About the startup wait, Perl 5.8 has an "autouse" option, that postpone load of modules until a function is used.

Class::Autouse

# I use $module, because $m is not descriptive enough for me.

            $package_file = $module . '.pm';
            $package_file =~ s~::~/~g;  
# Should probably use a module to get the seperator, but whatever.
            require($package_file) or die ( $@ );
            $self->{'parser '} = $module->new();
