Hello Tom, thank you very much for your attention!
> > eval "require $moduleName"; > > Hm. You say this isn't working for you, but you're not checking the > value of $@ after the evil eval? Ok, you got me :) I did not know $@ - I'll go for it. Promised! Anyway - I'm not sure, whether the eval fails. I placed dump-statements to the new() function as well to the overloaded functions. The class ($moduleName) is right, but the overloaded function does not get called. > 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. That's right. The matter is, I stripped lot of code just to focus on "my" problem. Of cause I had a print of $moduleName before the eval-line. May be I did not mention it - the script is not new. It worked for quite a long time. I did some further investigations and found out, that it may be a problem of the operating system. My scripts work fine on a real debian an they fail on kubuntu. So - may be, I did not post at the apropiate list. As I don't have that deep understanding of perl or the ongoing behind the sceenes, I went back to real debian. > Perhaps you want to use local() on @INC Sorry, but I don't understand the benefit of that proposal. I dumped the content of @INC and I guess, that perl works like any other stuff acting on a bunch of paths, and uses the first matching one. > 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. well, I failed at least at point 2. Gonna change that.
