Re: checking module version

require() doesn't check the version of a module. use() does:

BEGIN {
    my $mod = 'File::Spec';
    unless (eval "use $mod $version ()") {
        print "couldn't load $mod: $@";
    }
}

`unless (eval "use $mod $version ()") {` should be `unless (eval "use $mod $version (); 1") {` since `use` doesn't have a (documented) return value.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
