NAME

if - use a Perl module if a condition holds

SYNOPSIS

use if CONDITION, MODULE => ARGUMENTS;

DESCRIPTION

The construct

use if CONDITION, MODULE => ARGUMENTS;

has no effect unless CONDITION is true. In this case the effect is the same as of

use MODULE ARGUMENTS;

Above => provides necessary quoting of MODULE. If not used (e.g., no ARGUMENTS to give), you'd better quote MODULE yourselves.

BUGS

The current implementation does not allow specification of the required version of the module.
