I don't think there is a situation where you would want to, by default, load in every module in a directory.
Frankly, just because you don't see a reason for it, someone else may have a perfectly valid reason. In fact, I there is at least one good reason to do this: testing that all modules in a directory will load.
Also, as another poster pointed out, this is supported by default in other languages, like Java:
import java.io.*;
Which is a case of Java supporting more laziness than Perl (a case which is quite rare).

I wanted to explore how Perl's closures can be manipulated, and ended up creating an object system by accident.
