Hi All,
   I've got a loop which loads the LWP module only if it's needed. The code I use to load the module is:-

sub LoadModule {
  my $module = $_[0];

  my $loadok = 1;
  package main;
  eval "require $module";
  if ($@) {
    package CosmicSub;
    $loadok = 0;
    package main;
  } ## End if
  else {
    $module->import(@_[1 .. $#_]);
  } ## End else
  package CosmicSub;

  return $loadok;
} ## End sub

How do I know if the module has already been loaded so I don't end up reloading it each time the conditions arise in the loop?
I'm calling the routine from all sorts of different packages so setting a variable wouldn't be the best solution.

Once again thanks!
