they are called "compiler directives" in use which I think is quite OK.

I just wanna know if I can "require+import" any pragma like I can do with "real" moduls.

If yes I would like to consider to clarify this behavior in the documentation.

Thats why I asked you to test if it works like this in your older perl installations.

(something tells me that it wasn't always like it is now.)

And if it can't be clearly documented because it's not a reliable feature only restricted to special pragmatas, I would like to know it.

Cheers Rolf
