Require() modules from a variable [deprecated]

Before using this module, you should look at the alternatives, some of which are listed in SEE ALSO below. This module provides a safe mechanism for loading a module at runtime, when you have the name of the module in a variable. If you've ever had to do this... eval "require $module"; to get around the bareword caveats on require(), this module is for you. It creates a universal require() class method that will work with every Perl module and its secure. So instead of doing some arcane eval() work, you can do this: $module->require; It doesn't save you much typing, but it'll make a lot more sense to someone who's not a ninth level Perl acolyte.
