Hello,

Some of the scripts I'm writing depend on the hardware I have connected for some testing purposes.

Is there a way to have modules included according to a value of a variable?

    my $IS_MULTI_ICE_PRESENT = 1;
    my $IS_I2C_PRESENT = 0;
    ...
    use MyUtils:;MultiICE if ($IS_MULTI_ICE_PRESENT);
    use MyUtils:;I2C if ($IS_I2C_PRESENT);
    ...

I know that use is a pragma, therefore this code will not work.

What I want to do is like in "C":

    #define IS_MULTI_ICE_PRESENT 1
    #define IS_I2C_PRESENT       0
    ...
    #if IS_MULTI_ICE_PRESENT
    #include "multi_ice.h"
    #endif
    #if IS_I2C_PRESENT
    #include "i2c.h"
    #endif
    ...

Is this possible in Perl? (I guess that yes, but I don't know how to ... yet..)
