Esteemed Monks of the Monastery,

I'm sure it's a classic problem .
I've read Loading all modules under a directory and How to dynamically load modules but still i can't make it work .

Suppose i have a lib directory : c:\tmp\test\testlib holding two modules : mod1.pm and mod2.pm . These module are in a package called Test and each one defines a function "test1" and "test2" .

These two modules are required in another file, testlib.pm, residing in the same directory

This testlib.pm is in turn used by a script run.pl that is in c:\tmp\test\script\ : 

use lib 'c:/tmp/test/' ;
use testlib::testlib;
Test::test() ;

In testlib.pm, if i do : 
require testlib::mod1 ;
require testlib::mod2 ;

[download]
... Everything works fine .

But this implies that i add every new module manualy, so i tried to dynamically require the module files.
It breaks with "undefined subroutine" in run.pl as if the modules were not required : 

    foreach ( <*.pm> ) { 
    
        next if /testlib/ ; 
        $_ =~ s/\.pm// ;
        my $val = "testlib::"  .   $_ ;
        eval "require $val" ;

                
     }

I do this in testlib.pm instead of the two requires. I tried many variations like keeping the .pm or using instead or requiring or specifying full path in the require instead of the :: style, everything fails .

Can anyone explain what's hapenning ?
