I want to do this:
use Foo;
my $object = Foo->new();
Only I want to replace 'Foo' with a variable determined by some other factor.
my $module_name = 'Foo';
use $module_name;
my $object = $module_name->new();
I got as far as understanding that use will never be happy with this, is that right? And I ought to use require instead?
My code doesn't give an error if I do this:
$module = 'Foo';
my $module_path = $module . '.pm';
require $module_path;
But it complains that I'm calling "new" on an unblessed reference when I do my $object = $module->new(); on the next line.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
