Firstly the
BEGIN block is going to happen at compile-time so it's irrelevant that's it's in the function. If you want to include a module at run-time you could use the tried and tested
eval() &
use()
sub routine {
my $module = shift;
my $routine = shift;
my @params = @_;
eval qq{ use "Foo::Bar::$module"; };
no strict 'refs';
return &{"Foo::Bar::$module::$routine"}(@params);
}
There's also the very handy
autouse module which should do the magic for you
sub routine {
my $module = shift;
my $routine = shift;
my @params = @_;
require autouse;
autouse->import(
"Foo::Bar::$module",
"Foo::Bar::$module::$routine"
);
no strict 'refs';
return &{"Foo::Bar::$module::$routine"}(@params);
}
I'm not sure if that's exactly how it should be used so checkout
merlyn's
Objects of runtime-determined classes for reference.
