Hi, I want to import some perl modules inside a program.
I have many perl modules (say module_john.pm, module_kevin.pm, module_mary.pm)
in all the following directories: ./dir_sunday, ./dir_monday, ./dir_friday etc..
While running the program I am not able to specify which perl module (in which dir) I want to choose.
How can I use variables in "use" and "@INC" statements ?
My Program is given below.
==========================
1    #!/usr/bin/perl
2
3    $day = "sunday";    # This input is expected from the user while 
+running.
4    $userId= "mary";    # This input is expected from the user while 
+running.
5    
6    BEGIN  {
7    push (@INC, "./dir_$day");
8    }
9
10    $tmp = "module_".$userId;
11
12    use $tmp qw(%diary);       # %diary is a hash in the perl module
+ ./dir_sunday/module_mary.pm
13    *diary = \ %diary::diary;
14
15    <Program body>
===================================

I am getting errors
"cant locate file module_mary.pm in @INC" and "Syntax error if I use $tmp in line No:12"
