Dear monks,

my perlscript should run on different systems (windows, linux) where I don't know which modules are installed and I don't have permission to install modules.

Therefore I'm looking for a way to fallback to core modules or my own pm with basic functionality if a module is not installed.

My naive thought was using something like this:

use JSON || JSON::PP;

this does of course not work.

What's the best way to do this?

thanks in advance!

greetings, Toni

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
