I've just (very) recently gotten past the "trying to use require and strict" hurdle, thanks to the thread that turned up when I searched on strict and require here .... I'm now using:

use lib '/path/to/module/location'; 
use ModuleName;

The issue/difficulty I've run into now is when I try to throw a little logic into the equation.

I'd like to call one of a handful of modules based on a submitted parameter. For example: 

use lib '/path/to/module/location'; 
if ( param('yo') =~ /inyourface/) {
    use UpYours;
}

[download]
The interesting thing I've encountered when trying this is that the logic/conditional seems to be ignored, and the functions within the module are available regardless of whether the parameter matches.

I'm just cutting my teeth on this strict/module stuff, so maybe there's something obvious I'm missing. Rather then call half a dozen modules I don't need, I'd like to be able to call the only one I need based on a parameter value.

Any insights would be appreciated.
