'modules' version 0.01 ====================== Example: use modules qw(strict warnings 5.006 Data::Dumper); becomes the short version for: use 5.006; use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; ABSTRACT If you are bored by multiple 'use'-statement and asked why you cannot load several modules/pragma's with one single 'use'-line: Then you will find 'modules' handy, because thats what it does. Ironically 'modules' is a module. The name was choosen (against the recommendation to use lower case names for pragma's only), because the 'use modules' construct sounds so self-explanatory. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following (on Win32 use ie. 'nmake'): perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES The 'CPAN' module if the 'force' feature is turned on. FEATURES - automatically loads modules from CPAN (via the CPAN module) if they fail loading. So just 'use modules qw(Exotic::Module)' in your script and do not care if its on the local system or not, because if not 'modules' catches and installs it from CPAN.
