Re^2: How to have OS specific code sections in Perl

in thread How to have OS specific code sections in Perl

The 'use if' line seems to work only if written as follows:

use if ($^O eq 'linux'), 'MIDI::ALSA' => ('SND_SEQ_EVENT_PORT_UNSUBSCR
+IBED',
                                          'SND_SEQ_EVENT_SYSEX');

Any other way to write the 'use if' CONDITION doesn't seem to work.
Weird...
