<p>What do you suggest in cases where a module's conditionally needed? For example, a program only needs either Text::Table or HTML::Table, depending upon how that program's called. Should both modules be loaded or conditionally loaded?</p>
<p>For example:</p>
<c>
# Conditionally use Modules based on outFormat
for ( $config{outFormat} ) {
when (TEXT) {
eval 'use Text::Table';
die $@ if $@;
}
when (HTML) {
eval 'use HTML::Table';
die $@ if $@;
}
}
</c>
<p>If conditionally loaded if acceptable, would <c>require</c> be better than <c>use</c> in the above case?</p>
