Re^2: eval "require $module" vs. Module::Load::load($module)

That method ignores that fact that perl search for .pmc files first, only then for .pm files.

Most of the time there are no .pmc files, but iirc v6 uses them.

Modern versions of perl will search for .pmc files if you `require 'file.pm'`. The change ocurred sometime between 5.00501 (which doesn't), and 5.6.0 (which does).	[reply] [d/l]
