Re^2: Using arbitrary packages

In a nutshell, I'd like to have a config file that contains module names and function names. I want to read the config file, 'use' all the modules, and then make the function calls as given in the config file.

It's all trusted data, since it's all being run locally.

A fair fight is a sign of poor planning.

Perhaps you should use `do $filename;` [download] and have actual real Perl in the file that looks like `use Module1; use Module2; function1(); function2();` [download] it will run faster. No point in inventing your own mini perl parser. Especially if in the future you decide you need to start adding arguments to your functions etc.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
