in thread Help Changing use into require/import

Can't locate object method "new" via package "Capture::Tiny" at ./foo.pl line 40

Capture::Tiny doesn't have a new() method, and Capture::Tiny->new() will therefore fail irrespective of how you loaded the module.

    So is there a way to load it dynamically?

      Just use require Capture::Tiny at runtime, like you already did in your code.

      The thing you are missing is that Perl doesn't know that capture should become a function. You can either try to predeclare capture as subroutine to tell that you expect a capture subroutine:

      sub capture(&@);

...
require Capture::Tiny;
Capture::Tiny->import('capture');
capture {
} ...;

      Or go the more explicit route of calling capture in a way that doesn't need parser gymnastics:

      capture( sub { ... }, ... );
