Hello. As you may be aware, the current version of if.pm on CPAN is
0.01000001, which breaks this test case:
use if 1, open => ':utf8';
# Not enough arguments for open at test.pl line 1, at EOF
the reason is if.pm's implementation says:
my $p = shift; # PACKAGE
eval "require $p" or die; # Adds .pm etc if needed
which translates to eval "require open", but the latter is a keyword.
Version 0.03 of if.pm, shipped with Perl 5.8.1, corrected this problem
by doing this instead:
my $p = $_[0]; # PACKAGE
(my $file = "$p.pm") =~ s!::!/!g;
require $file or die;
A few modules that I currently use needs a non-broken if.pm to function
correctly. I would like to put (if => 0.03) in their PREREQ_PM, but
that will need your help on releasing 0.03 into CPAN separately.
So, I'd be very grateful if you can release a new version of if.pm,
based on the one included in perl 5.8.1.
Thanks,
