I wrote this to solve a problem where I wanted to use a module on one machine that resides on another. The module goes like so: 
package RemoteModule;
=item

    Synopsis:
        use RemoteModule "Crypt::RC4" => "http://search.cpan.org/src/S
+IFUKURT/Crypt-RC4-2.02/RC4.pm";
    use Crypt::RC4;

    my $crypted = RC4("secret password!!!", "Text to be encrypted!");
    print "Encrypted: $crypted\n";
    print "Decrypted: " . RC4( "secret password!!!", $crypted );
=cut


use strict;
my %urls = ();


#========================================================
#
#========================================================
sub import
{
    my ($s) = shift;
    my ($class,$url) = @_;
    $urls{$class} = $url;
}# end BEGIN{}

BEGIN
{
    push @INC, sub {
        my ( $coderef, $filename ) = @_;
        $filename =~ s/\//::/g;
        $filename =~ s/\.pm$//;
        return undef unless defined $urls{$filename};
        open my $fh,
            "perl "
            . "    -MHTTP::Request::Common "
            . "    -MLWP::UserAgent "
            . "    -e \"print LWP::UserAgent->new->request( "
            . "        GET '$urls{$filename}' "
            . "    )->content\" | ";
        return $fh; };
}# end BEGIN

1;

Anyone come across a better method for achieving the same effect?
