It handles load failures badly.	[reply]

So we should just take your word for that? Can you give an example? I mean ... I have never had problems with this like you describe. Perhaps you are not using it properly?	[reply]

From base.pm: `die if $@ && $@ !~ /^Can't locate .*? at \(eval /;` [download] So you won't ever hear of a file that couldn't be found, instead you get a useless message about the base class being empty: `Carp::croak(<<ERROR); Base class package "$base" is empty. (Perhaps you need to 'use' the module which defines that package f +irst.) ERROR` [download] ... and that only if the namespace wasn't ever touched before. The following code will not fail nor warn despite the file `Foo/Bar.pm` not existing: `use strict; BEGIN { print "Foo::Bar::VERSION : $Foo::Bar::VERSION\n"; }; package Foo::Baz; use base 'Foo::Bar'; package main; print "done\n.";` [download] ... because `base.pm` does not look in %INC to see whether a module was loaded.

No, you could search Perl Monks. You could probably find some things on it on the P5P mailing list too. Google sees both.	[reply]
