in reply to runtime problem

toolic is correct. This is cool though...

sub FakeOO {
    eval "require $_[0]";
    bless \($_[0]), "FakeOO";
}
sub FakeOO::AUTOLOAD {
    my $pkg = ${+shift};
    $pkg->can($FakeOO::AUTOLOAD =~ /::(\w+)$/)->(@_);
}

my $scalar_util = FakeOO("Scalar::Util");

$scalar_util->looks_like_number(123);

    Yes, pretty cool.

    And it also pretty much sums up why Perl is so loved and hated by so many people. You can do any insane, ill-advised thing you want :)
