Hi!
I've been using the following code in the beginning of my scripts to check that a module installed. 

    $Module_is_installed = "N";

eval
{
    require Module::Module;
};


if (!($@))
{
    $Module_is_installed = "J";
}

if ($Module_is_installed eq "J")
{
# Do stuff
}

But, I've noticed that it doesn't work in some cases, for example, when using 
require Mail::Sendmail 0.75;

[download]
, it doesn't work, telling me that there's a syntax error. If I switch to "use", it tells me that it can't locate Mail/Sendmail.pm.
Any ideas?
