Re^5: How to use a module without installing it?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I never tried it myself...

...but use X implies to require X and to call X->import(LIST), so certainly you can comment out the require, but you still need to import!

see use

... but you still need to import! That's correct — in case you actually want to import anything (or need to pass whatever parameters to the module's import method; or the module insists on having its import method called for some other reason). OTOH, with many modules (especially OO-style ones) there's no need to import stuff, so there's a good chance you'd get away without calling import... (I figured the OP would come back in case of problems :)	[reply]
