Re: Dynamically creat Packages

You may be able to get what you want by messing with %INC:

    my $path = $package;
    $path =~ s{::}{/}g;
    $path .= '.pm';
    $INC{$path} = '(eval)';

There may be something better to use than '(eval)'. It's just the first thing I thought of. When you then use the package again, it sees the entry in %INC and thinks it's already been loaded.

I understand the first part, but I don't get what the `'(eval)'` is supposed to be.	[reply] [d/l]

It's just a true value. For other packages, %INC contains the full path to the file that provided it. Since it's not coming out of a file here, I just put `'(eval)'` like what caller says when it also would otherwise name something specific.	[reply] [d/l]
