> Can someone show an example, ideally on CPAN, where this gets used? I _think_ you were asking for an example of someone using the return value from a require. In which case: https://grep.metacpan.org/search?qci=&q=%3D%20require&qft=&qd=Acme-MetaSyntactic-Themes&f=lib%2FAcme%2FMetaSyntactic%2Funicode.pm This is in BooK’s Acme::MetaSyntactic::unicode module (yeah, Acme): if ( $] >= 5.006 && $] < 5.007003 ) { eval { $data = require 'unicode/Name.pl'; }; } elsif ( $] >= 5.007003 ) { eval { $data = require 'unicore/Name.pl'; }; # since v5.11.3, unicore/Name.pl creates subroutines # they end up in our namespace, so get rid of them undef *code_point_to_name_special; undef *name_to_code_point_special; } Guessing there may be other examples on CPAN – this is just the first one I found with grep.metacpan.org.
