in reply to Re^3: Use variable as a module during runtime.
in thread Use variable as a module during runtime.

In your original code, $f was a variable holding the whole code of the module as a string.

That was your assumption. The other possibility is that the file contained something like "Module::Name". yoda54 would need to provide example data to know for sure.

Update: oh, I see from the partial error message in the grandparent of this node that you are indeed correct. Sorry for the noise.
