It's a very simple patch to pugs. While we're at it, does anybody see a
compelling reason to leave in the Perl 5 semantics of "require $file"?

I would very much appreciate such a feature myself, since I always or
primarily use Perlish names when loading modules. With such a
change, I would be able to say:
require $module_name;
... and have it DWIM, which in my mind is the same as "require Foo;",
and I would no longer have to say:
eval "require $module_name;";
die if $!;
... as I do now.
I like to save string evals for when I'm actually using arbitrary
runtime generated Perl code which is in a variable.
