Re^3: use and require inside subs

You can't hide a use like that.

if (0) {
    print "This block is happening!\n";
    use Win32;
} 
print "$_\n" for keys %INC;

And on a system where the module is not available......

[root@devel3 root]# cat test.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl -wT
BEGIN{print "We are on $^O\n"}
if ($^O eq 'MSWin32') {
    use Win32::TieRegistry( Delimiter=>"/", ArrayValues=>0 );
    # load $config from registry
} else {
    # else load $config from flat files
}
[root@devel3 root]# ./test.pl
We are on linux

Even more convincing is to put the `print` statement before the `if` statement. `print "$_\n" for keys %INC; if (0) { print "This block is happening!\n"; use Win32; }` [download] -- `[ e d @ h a l l e y . c c ]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

hehe, so maybe I don't run that cross-platform code on other platforms recently :-) I'll have to dig it up and see what I actually did now. Cheers	[reply]
