Or use a different path to it (I've seen this in production, don't ask).

My.pm:

package My; use warnings; use strict; our $counter //= 10; ++$counter

script.pl

#!/usr/bin/perl use warnings; use strict; use feature qw{ say }; use lib './'; say require My; # 11 say require 'My.pm'; # In %INC, returns 1. say require './My.pm'; # Not in %INC, thus 12!

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

    Yes, because keys in %INC are the paths.

    Edit
    But if I wanted to reload the required file, I'd rather use an explicit %INC hook doing it explicitly without leaving a key at all.

    Though I have trouble imagining a use case...
