Thanks for the quick reply,

My perl application takes as input a module and dynamically loads it, then calls the necessary functions. I could easily take the input argument (array) and write it to a temporary file, and require it, however I am using Perl...so there must be a way...

I had tried your suggestion, however I ran into some problems since my module is defines something like:
package testmod;

use DynaLoader;
use Exporter;

BEGIN {
  @ISA       = qw(Exporter, DynaLoader);
  @EXPORT    = qw(testfunc);
  @EXPORT_OK = qw();
}

use strict;

sub testfunc {
  ...
}

1;

The errors I am getting are "Global symbol @ISA requires explicit package name..."

PS: Thanks for the heads up on $@, I always get those confused.
