in thread Passing a run time string to require

Not sure what you are alluding to here. If you pull in UNIVERSAL::require, this has polluted the UNIVERSAL name space, and made the require method available everywhere. If you haven't pulled in Schwern's module, Perl will not find the sub UNIVERSAL::require.

If somebody else has a require method, or rather doesn't actually have one at the moment, but is dependent on AUTOLOAD being called, my calling in UNIVERSAL::require in a completely different module will stop this working, as Schwern's require will get called, not AUTOLOAD.

    Oh, I read too quickly and missed the fact that it was a moduled-based method. I just assumed it was core.
