> Unless Windows, most of the rest of the world of automation is case-sensitive

maybe it's relevant here to remark that use on WIN will show a split personality.

the require will be case insensitive but the import will fail, because the latter expects a case sensitive package name

this will lead to somehow schizophrenic error conditions.

C:\tmp\pm>perl -MData::Dumper -we"print Dumper [1..3]"     # Correct C
+asing, NO Problems
$VAR1 = [
          1,
          2,
          3
        ];

C:\tmp\pm>perl -MdAtA::DuMpER -we1                         # NO Error 
+Msg on Win

C:\tmp\pm>perl -MdAtA::DuMpER -we"print Dumper [1..3]"     # BUT won't
