12.2. Trapping Errors in require or use
12.2.1. Problem
You need to load in a module that might not be present on your system. This normally results in a fatal exception. You want to detect and trap these failures.
12.2.2. Solution
Wrap the require or use in an eval, and wrap the eval in a BEGIN block:
# no import
BEGIN {
unless (eval "require $mod; 1") {
warn "couldn't require $mod: $@";
}
}
# imports into current package
BEGIN {
unless (eval "use $mod; 1") {
warn "couldn't use $mod: $@";
}
}
12.2.3. Discussion
You usually want a program to fail if it tries to load a module that is missing or doesn't compile. Sometimes, though, you'd like to recover from that error, perhaps trying an alternative module instead. As with any other exception, you insulate yourself from compilation errors with an eval.
You don't want to use eval { BLOCK }, because this traps only runtime exceptions, and use is a compile-time event. Instead, you must use eval "string" to catch compile-time problems as well. Remember, require on a bareword has a slightly different meaning than require on a variable. It adds a ".pm" and translates double-colons into your operating system's path separators, canonically / (as in URLs), but sometimes \, :, or even . on some systems.
If you need to try several modules in succession, stopping at the first one that works, you could do something like this:
BEGIN {
my($found, @DBs, $mod);
$found = 0;
@DBs = qw(Giant::Eenie Giant::Meanie Mouse::Mynie Moe);
for $mod (@DBs) {
if (eval "require $mod") {
$mod->import( ); # if needed
$found = 1;
last;
}
}
die "None of @DBs loaded" unless $found;
}
We wrap the eval in a BEGIN block to ensure the module-loading happens at compile time instead of runtime.
