<i> I just dislike the namespace pollution that calling 'use' entails, such as not knowing exactly what functions it imports.</i>
<p>
If the docs aren't enough, check the source. And if that isn't enough either, the call [use] with parameters, as in:
<code>
use CGI qw(:standard);
</code>
or for that matter,
<code>
use CGI ();
</code>
to import nothing. [use] is done at compiletime, and thus IMO is preferable in most cases. I only use [require] when I need to do conditional inclusion of something.
