in thread feedback on successful module loading

You can make your code shorter by writing your code only once and putting your modules to test into a list.

#!/opt/bin/perl -w
print "running $0 in Perl $]\n";
for ( qw( CGI
         HTML::Template ) )
{
    print eval "require $_"
             ? "$_ ok\n"
             : "$_ failed: $@\n"
}

    I was going to work on putting the module names into a DATA file and building the working script with another script. The result would have been just as long, but I wouldn't have written it by hand. I like your idea better. It has class!
