Can I fool perl about start of run-time? I am pulling in some modules in the middle of my program, but INIT and CHECK blocks do not work, because they are run _before_ run-time starts.

So, for instance, Attribute::Handlers does not do anything with my code (it defaults to running during CHECK phase). I cannot use BEGIN blocks because by that time subroutines, even though compiled, do not have names (and those are the subroutines, of course, that have attributes in my code).

Any thoughts? Thanks!
