...because you typed 'use ThisModule;' at the
top of your code is the simple answer -- since use'ing
occurs at compile-time, then the statement must already
occur in your code. You cannot load a module twice, if
it has already been loaded with use or require. This also
means that you can't have two different versions of the
same module loaded at one time either.
if you are talking dynamic inclusion of module at runtime,
or in response to user responses etc, then the perl idiom
you are looking for is:
if you have a list of modules which could do the job but you don't know what the host has, then either traverse @INC manually (clumsy), or try something like:
dirty
