Re: Is it a pragma or a module?

Unfortunately, a number of people have broken the conventions and released their non-pragma modules to CPAN with all lowercase names, just because they like the way it looks. That means you pretty much have no choice but to hard-code the list of real pragmas.

Only code that is part of the core and maintained as part of perl itself can be properly called a pragma. Otherwise it's just a module getting uppity.	[reply]
