Hm. You say this isn't working for you, but you're not checking the value of $@ after the evil eval? (By the way, unless I missed something, that "require" could load your module, if it loads it at all, from a different directory than the one you're looking through via readdir. That may matter to you. Perhaps you want to use local() on @INC?) Before I eval a string, I make three promises: 1. I promise that I know exactly what the string contains. 2. I promise to check $@ after the eval. 3. I promise that I really understand the code contained in the string. If you can find another way to do what you want without eval of a string, the other way is almost certainly better. (eval of a block is another matter. Using eval on a block is acceptable, standard practice; using eval on a string is the evil eval, and should be avoided.)
