Re: How can I prevent a module from being added to the %INC hash?

Perhaps you should be using do instead of require or use? It does add the module to %INC, but since %INC is not checked, you can execute the "module" multiple times.

do should be used for "modules" with no package statement. require or use should be used with modules with a package statement.

# config.pl
# ---------

$var = 'test';

# main.pl
# -------

use strict;
use warnings;

our $var;
do 'config.pl';
print($var);

Is it possible to use a module another way? For example, putting a reference to a subroutine that uses a module into @INC? I think the docs indicate that only the reference is added to %INC. But I have never tried adding a code reference to @INC.	[reply]

Yes, read the module file and `eval` it. What are you trying to do? What's the end goal?	[reply] [d/l]

It looks like ammon already solved it. I was attempting to do something similar to Devel::Loaded	[reply]
