Re: Cancel/no-op a require (%INC)

in reply to Cancel/no-op a require

If making 'use Foo' and 'require Bar' be no-ops is your primary goal, then it is easier to not do that via a hook in @INC (use %INC instead):

BEGIN { $INC{'Foo.pm'} = $INC{'Bar.pm'} = __FILE__ }
use Foo;     # no-op
require Bar; # no-op

Module::Loaded - mark modules as loaded or unloaded

use Module::Loaded;

$bool = mark_as_loaded('Foo');   # Foo.pm is now marked as loaded
$loc  = is_loaded('Foo');        # location of Foo.pm set to the
                                 # loaders location
eval "require 'Foo'";            # is now a no-op

$bool = mark_as_unloaded('Foo'); # Foo.pm no longer marked as loaded
eval "require 'Foo'";            # Will try to find Foo.pm in @INC
