Re: Loading all modules under a directory

use doesn't really allow you much in the way of trickery and flexibility. You cannot "use" modules conditionally, or dynamically create use lists.

However, as is documented...

It is exactly equivalent to
BEGIN { require Module; import Module LIST; }
except that Module must be a bareword.

So here's another strategy for you. Within a BEGIN block, open the directory in which your modules reside, read it, keep all the *.pm filenames, and then in a foreach loop perform the above "require $_; import $_ LIST;" code.

use doesn't really allow you much in the way of trickery and flexibility Depends on how you look at it. Subroutine references in `@INC` provides a fair bit of trickery and flexibility. `ihb` See perltoc if you don't know which perldoc to read!	[reply] [d/l]
