"... do is about the worst"

It seems to be an ineradicable prejudice that do $file and its equivalent eval qx(cat $file) is bad practice.

It seems to be an ineradicable prejudice that do $file and its equivalent eval qx(cat $file) is bad practice per se.

Anyway, for some details about the pro and cons recipe 8.16. in the Perl Cookbook is still a good source.

Hmm, lets see, do documentation itself tells you use/require are better ... meaning actual modules are better ... most folks who do 'file'; manage to forget about namespaces and aren't coping with scoping -- when they switch to use/require they're at least forced to think about it by all the tutorials
