Got it:
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;
BUGS
The current implementation does not allow specification of the required
version of the module.
