in reply to Why does Capture::Tiny require loading via BEGIN to successfully function?

I use the $haveModule = eval { require Module; 1; } idiom fairly frequently,

I think anonymonk has explained the problem, but I just wanted to ask you what advantages you see in detecting module absence at runtime via require, over compile-time as would happen with use?
