A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

        Except with ancient Perls, it should not be necessary to install it. corelist says

        $ corelist if

if was first released with perl 5.006002

        [download]

        which perlhist documents to have been released 2003-Nov-15.

        And if the module wasn't found, the error would be "Can't locate if.pm in @INC...". So, I suppose the error here lies elsewhere.
