perlquestion Cody Fendant <p>I want to do this:</p> <code> use Foo; my $object = Foo->new(); </code> <p>Only I want to replace 'Foo' with a variable determined by some other factor.</p> <code> my $module_name = 'Foo'; use $module_name; my $object = $module_name->new(); </code> <p>I got as far as understanding that <code>use</code> will never be happy with this, is that right? And I ought to use <code>require</code> instead?</p> <p>My code doesn't give an error if I do this:</p> <code> $module = 'Foo'; my $module_path = $module . '.pm'; require $module_path; </code> <p>But it complains that I'm calling "new" on an unblessed reference when I do <code>my $object = $module->new();</code> on the next line.</p>
