Also, require does that automatically. The manpage has this snippet: 

Has semantics similar to the following subroutine:

    sub require {
        my($filename) = @_;
        return 1 if $INC{$filename};
        my($realfilename,$result);
        ITER: {
            foreach $prefix (@INC) {
                $realfilename = "$prefix/$filename";
                if (-f $realfilename) {
                    $INC{$filename} = $realfilename;
                    $result = do $realfilename;
                    last ITER;
                }
            }
            die "Can't find $filename in \@INC";
        }
        delete $INC{$filename} if $@ || !$result;
        die $@ if $@;
        die "$filename did not return true value" unless $result;
        return $result;
    }
