RE: Re: This might not be in the spirit of iTIMTOWTDI/i

The sequence require $module doesn't work if $module contains colons. I think there's another node here somewhere that I wrote to show how to do this with the right BEGIN{} block around it. But super search isn't super enough for me to find it quickly.

except that (at least in my program) my module name was determined after reading in a file at runtime. It's easy enough to do if you push the path onto the @INC. Anyway, a quick split for colons would take care to push yet another path on the poor @INC :-O so the end justifies the means.
