Very neat indeed. Is there some way to find out which module was selected? For example, CGI and CGI::Simple have different options, and I'd like to be able to deal with that -- one of the reasons I returned the name of the imported module during the `prefer` call. Also, can you do repeated 'use Best's? I thought use would only work once: am I mistaken? <–radiant.matrix–> A collection of thoughts and links from the minds of geeks The Code that can be seen is not the true Code I haven't found a problem yet that can't be solved by a well-placed trebuchet	[reply] [d/l]

Repeated use() calls call the ->import function. The code is compiled only once but ->import is called every time unless you passed an empty parameter list like `use Something ();`. Best provides a which() function which can tell you which module loaded. `use Best qw( CGI CGI::Simple ); my $q = Best->which( 'CGI' )->new;` [download] ⠤⠤ ⠙⠊⠕⠞⠁⠇⠑⠧⠊	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Nifty, thanks. I don't know how I missed `which()` in the POD. Seems like Best will be a perfect fit for what I had in mind. Woot. ;-) <–radiant.matrix–> A collection of thoughts and links from the minds of geeks The Code that can be seen is not the true Code I haven't found a problem yet that can't be solved by a well-placed trebuchet	[reply] [d/l]
