Hi monks,

I have a file named Database.pm. I have a script named script.pl. The script.pl will look like the following.

use strict;
use warnings;
use Database;

...Some statements...

Now my requirement is, if the Database.pm is not available, I need to say that "Database.pm is not available" instead of perl printing the "Can't locate" error message.

I tried that with the help of eval as follows and it is working

use strict;
use warnings;
eval 'use Database';
if($@)
{
print "Database.pm is not available\n";
exit;
}

I know that in perl we can achieve a task using many ways. Now I'm curious to know is there any other ways to do this?
