modules - loads several modules with single use-command
use modules qw(strict warnings 5.006 Data::Dumper); # and now we can use i.e. Data::Dumper print Dumper { one => 1, two => 2 };
If you are bored by multiple 'use'-statement and asked why you cannot load several modules with one single 'use'-command: You will love 'modules', because thats what it does.
Ironically 'modules' is a module. The name was choosen, because the 'use modules' construct sounds self-explanatory.
This options controls whether modules which failed during loading become automatically loaded from CPAN (if available).
Default: ON.
Example:
use modules qw(strict warnings -force IO::Extended +force Class::Maker); (Meaning: If 'IO::Extended' is not loadable, do not try to install it via CPAN).
BTW the example is semantically identical to:
use modules qw(strict warnings Class::Maker -force IO::Extended);
use modules qw(5.006 strict warnings Data::Dumper);
becomes the short form for:
use 5.006; use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper;
use modules ( qw(strict), { IO::Extended => '(:all)' } );
use strict; use IO::Extended qw(:all);
None by default.
