"Why would you care?"

I'd like to know if a BEGIN block in my module is executed in the beginning of the applications execution or if it's executed later on, as a result of the module being require'd.

perldoc.com seems to have a temporary outage on the search facility. I've read the Camel but not found what I was looking for. Just hoped someone could tell me what I missed. ;-)

caller and the node you referenced to talks about how a method is called. I need to know if my module was loaded in compile time or during run time.

Thanks anyway.

Everything went worng, just as foreseen.
