You are correct chromatic, I needed to use a named lexical there. Not really sure why that is. This works:

use Symbol 'delete_package';
foreach my $module (@modules) {
   require "sub/$module.pm";
   import $module qw(foo bar);
   foo();
   bar();
   #cleanup
   delete_package($module);
}

As well as the function call format that you wrote it in.

strict; system('rm -fr /home'), lol! tobyink, the modules are all created by myself so I'm (reasonably) sure that nothing like that will every happen. Thanks for looking out for me, though =D

use Symbol 'delete_package';
foreach my $module (@modules) {
   eval "use sub::$module";
   import $module qw(foo bar);
   foo();
   bar();
   #cleanup
   delete_package($module);
}

Works fine as well.

CountZero, cool little module. That does the trick too:

use Symbol 'delete_package';
require UNIVERSAL::require;
foreach my $module (@modules) {
   "sub::$module"->require or die $@;
   import $module qw(foo bar);
   foo();
   bar();
   #cleanup
   delete_package($module);
}

Thanks guys!
