Re: How to import names from a dynamically required module

if (eval "require $package_name; 1")

   $package_name->import(qw/method1 method2 method3/);

It's often a good idea to lift imports to compile-time using a BEGIN block.

perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'

Thank you very much, tobyink, I was not aware of the fact that one could call import on package names as in your example. This solved my issue.	[reply]

This is not specific to `import`; it works with all class method calls... `use Math::BigInt; my $class = "Math::BigInt"; my $six = $class->new(6); my $seven = "Math::BigInt"->new(7); my $eight = join("::", "Math", "BigInt")->new(8);` [download] In fact, string quoting class names is arguably a much better idea than the more conventional `Math::BigInt->new(9)`, because the latter will start behaving surprisingly if there's ever a `BigInt` sub defined in the `Math` package. `perl -E'sub Monkey::do{say$_,for@_,do{($monkey=[caller(0)]->[3])=~s{::}{ }and$monkey}}"Monkey say"->Monkey::do'`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

string quoting class names is arguably a much better idea Or, you can use `Math::BigInt::->new(8)`. لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply] [d/l]
