Certain applications like to defer the decision to use a particular module
|
|
till runtime. This is possible in perl, and is a useful trick in
|
|
situations where the type of data is not known at compile time and the
|
|
application doesn't wish to pre-compile modules to handle all types of
|
|
data it can work with. Loading modules at runtime can also provide
|
|
flexible interfaces for perl modules. Modules can let the programmer
|
|
decide what modules will be used by it instead of hard-coding their names.
