Yes, of course :-) do updates %INC, and a subsequent require will just return 1, telling that the file has already been loaded. This is actually a feature, it is a conditional do.
$ echo 13 > lucky.pl
$ perl -l
print do 'lucky.pl';
if (1 == require 'lucky.pl') {
print "already loaded.";
delete $INC{"lucky.pl"};
}
print require 'lucky.pl';
print do 'lucky.pl';
__END__
13
already loaded.
13
13
update: updated code with conditional block
perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'
