in reply to Re^2: what would you like to see in perl5.12? (require $class)
in thread what would you like to see in perl5.12?

Do you mean %INC? Changing %INC to match is not required, and I wasn't suggesting that it should be done. People who want to search %INC (or @INC) can continue to do the same class to path conversion they are already doing.

But if you wanted to change %INC to class names, you could maintain compatibility with old scripts by placing both the class name and paths in %INC.
