Ok, now I'm sure you can.

require says The file is included via the do-FILE mechanism, which is essentially just a variety of "eval".

And do says If "do" cannot read the file, it returns undef and sets $! to the error.

    ok, I'll take that. Of course, $! is only meaningful if require got as far as the "do", but we know that to be the case here.

      I'm not willing to concede that, but I won't check to make sure either :)
