How do I load a module at runtime in Perl?
Foo.pm
package Foo;
use strict;
use warnings;
use Exporter qw(import);
our @EXPORT = qw(bar);
sub bar { print "bar(@_)\n" }
1;
script.pl
use strict;
use warnings;
require Foo;
Foo->import('bar');
bar(1, 22, 333);
The easiest way is probably to use a module like Module::Load:
use Module::Load;
load Data::Dumper;
Look at this "How to dynamically load modules" and you can also look at [DynaLoader - Automatic Dynamic Loading of Perl Modules] in Programming Perl.
