Not sure how well this will fit into your program structure and I have not confirmed these work with Inline::Java but you could try eval "use Inline::Java;"; which delays loading Inline::Java until the line is executed. If you never need the java functionality then there should be no overhead. perldoc -f eval for the gory details or require Inline::Java; import Inline::Java $your_argument_list; Inline::Java gets its configuration via the import method. This is automatically called when you use a module.If you require the module and call import yourself then this should be almost the same as calling use. > All hints are appreciated. > > Sincerely > > Wilhelm Pastoors > -- We envision to synergistically network error-free materials for 100% customer satisfaction
