NAME

Acme::require::case - Make Perl's require case-sensitive

VERSION

version 0.012

SYNOPSIS

  use Acme::require::case;

  use MooX::Types::Mooselike::Base; # should be 'MooseLike'

  # dies with: MooX/Types/Mooselike/Base.pm has incorrect case...

DESCRIPTION

This module overrides CORE::GLOBAL::require to make a case-sensitive check for its argument. This prevents require foo from loading "Foo.pm" on case-insensitive filesystems.

It does not respect any prior require overrides, since it completely replaces require semantics. Therefore, it should be loaded as early as possible, perhaps on the command line:

    perl -MAcme::require::case myprogram.pl

You certainly don't want to run this in production, but it might be good for your editor's compile command, or in PERL5OPT during testing.

If you're really daring you can stick it in your shell:

    export PERL5OPT=-MAcme::require::case

This module walks the filesystem checking case for every require, so it is significantly slower than the built-in require function.

Global require overrides are slightly buggy prior to Perl 5.12. If you really care about such things, load Lexical::SealRequireHints after you load this one.
