Just one question, I'm all against string eval most of the time, but in this case would it be much different to avoid the self-made $plugin "conversion" and do

eval qq{ require $plugin }
   or die("Unable to load plugin $plugin: $@\n");

instead?

    Your call. My method is documented in require (see below) and used by core module if.

    If EXPR is a bareword, the require assumes a ".pm" extension and replaces "::" with "/" in the filename for you, to make it easy to load standard modules
