Most definitely. However, you lose information about which
modules are needed more often than others. There's no difference
between all scripts needing CGI.pm and one script needing
Foo::Bar.
We also lose timing information. If 90% of the modules are
loaded into the process with the last request before the child is
destroyed, there's no point in loading them during the
configuration phase. We can help this a little by taking
snapshots of %INC at regular intervals (at the end of each
request, for example).
The current code I have uses %INC, but I wanted to write
something like the following:
sub use : immediate {
# do stuff here if logging
return CORE::use(@_);
}
