Re^3: DBI detector?

mostly cause require docs use the eval "require DBI" form as an example, and so i was pretty confident that would work w/o trying it, and the critical piece for OP was to remove the load-time 'use' call .. i also vauguely remember having problems once doing a eval "use Foo" once but really can't remember what (possibly {probably??} totally unrelated .. was a load order issue maybe??) .. so, in summary, no real good reason :)

Maybe you had problems with `eval { use Foo; }`. That won't work because the block of `eval BLOCK` is compiled when the `eval` is compiled. `eval "use Foo;"` is different because the expression in `eval EXPR` is compiled when the `eval` is executed.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
