The construct: use if CONDITION, "MODULE", ARGUMENTS; ... will load C only if C evaluates to true; it has no effect if C evaluates to false. (The module name, assuming it contains at least one C<::>, must be quoted when C<'use strict "subs";'> is in effect.) If the CONDITION does evaluate to true, then the above line has the same effect as: use MODULE ARGUMENTS; For example, the F module's F function will use two functions from F only if a certain condition is met: use if defined &DynaLoader::boot_DynaLoader, "Unicode::Normalize" => qw(getCombinClass NFD); Suppose you wanted C to be an empty list, I, to have the effect of: use MODULE (); You can't do this with the C pragma; however, you can achieve exactly this effect, at compile time, with: BEGIN { require MODULE if CONDITION } =head2 C The C construct is mainly used to deactivate categories of warnings when those categories would produce superfluous output under specified versions of F. For example, the C category of warnings was introduced in Perl-5.22. This warning flags certain instances of superfluous arguments to C and C. But if your code was running warnings-free on earlier versions of F and you don't care about C warnings in more recent versions, you can call: use warnings; no if $] >= 5.022, q|warnings|, qw(redundant); my $test = { fmt => "%s", args => [ qw( x y ) ] }; my $result = sprintf $test->{fmt}, @{$test->{args}}; The C construct assumes that a module or pragma has correctly implemented an C method -- but most modules and pragmata have not. That explains why the C construct is of limited applicability. =head1 BUGS The current implementation does not allow specification of the required version of the module. =head1 SEE ALSO L can be used to conditionally load one or modules, with constraints based on the version of the module. Unlike C though, L is not a core module. L provides a number of functions you can use to query what modules are available, and then load one or more of them at runtime. The L module from CPAN can be used to select one of several possible modules to load based on the version of Perl that is running. =head1 AUTHOR Ilya Zakharevich L. =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENCE This software is copyright (c) 2002 by Ilya Zakharevich.
