=head1 NAME
Module::Load - runtime require of both modules and files
=head1 SYNOPSIS
  use Module::Load;
  my $module = 'Data::Dumper';
  load Data::Dumper;     # loads that module, but not import any functions
                         # -> cannot use 'Dumper' function
  load 'Data::Dumper';   # ditto
  load $module           # tritto
  autoload Data::Dumper; # loads that module and imports the default functions
                         # -> can use 'Dumper' function
  my $script = 'some/script.pl'
  load $script;
  load 'some/script.pl';  # use quotes because of punctuations
  load thing;             # try 'thing' first, then 'thing.pm'
  load CGI, ':all';       # like 'use CGI qw[:standard]'
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<Module::Load> eliminates the need to know whether you are trying
to require either a file or a module.
If you consult C<perldoc -f require> you will see that C<require> will
behave differently when given a bareword or a string.
In the case of a string, C<require> assumes you are wanting to load a
file. But in the case of a bareword, it assumes you mean a module.
This gives nasty overhead when you are trying to dynamically require
modules at runtime, since you will need to change the module notation
(C<Acme::Comment>) to a file notation fitting the particular platform
you are on.
C<Module::Load> eliminates the need for this overhead and will
just DWYM.
=head2 Difference between C<load> and C<autoload>
C<Module::Load> imports the two functions - C<load> and C<autoload>
C<autoload> imports the default functions automatically,
but C<load> do not import any functions.
C<autoload> is usable under C<BEGIN{};>.
Both the functions can import the functions that are specified.
Following codes are same.
  load File::Spec::Functions, qw/splitpath/;
  autoload File::Spec::Functions, qw/splitpath/;
=head1 FUNCTIONS
=over 4
=item load
Loads a specified module.
See L</Rules> for detailed loading rule.
=item autoload
Loads a specified module and imports the default functions.
Except importing the functions, 'autoload' is same as 'load'.
=item load_remote
Loads a specified module to the specified package.
  use Module::Load 'load_remote';
  my $pkg = 'Other::Package';
  load_remote $pkg, 'Data::Dumper'; # load a module to 'Other::Package'
                                    # but do not import 'Dumper' function
A module for loading must be quoted.
Except specifing the package and quoting module name,
'load_remote' is same as 'load'.
=item autoload_remote
Loads a specified module and imports the default functions to the specified package.
  use Module::Load 'autoload_remote';
  my $pkg = 'Other::Package';
  autoload_remote $pkg, 'Data::Dumper'; # load a module to 'Other::Package'
                                        # and imports 'Dumper' function
A module for loading must be quoted.
Except specifing the package and quoting module name,
'autoload_remote' is same as 'load_remote'.

=head1 Rules
All functions have the following rules to decide what it thinks
you want:
=over 4
=item *
If the argument has any characters in it other than those matching
C<\w>, C<:> or C<'>, it must be a file
=item *
If the argument matches only C<[\w:']>, it must be a module
=item *
If the argument matches only C<\w>, it could either be a module or a
file. We will try to find C<file.pm> first in C<@INC> and if that
fails, we will try to find C<file> in @INC.  If both fail, we die with
the respective error messages.
=back
=head1 IMPORTS THE FUNCTIONS
'load' and 'autoload' are imported by default, but 'load_remote' and
'autoload_remote' are not imported.
To use 'load_remote' or 'autoload_remote', specify at 'use'.
=over 4
=item "load","autoload","load_remote","autoload_remote"
Imports the selected functions.
  # imports 'load' and 'autoload' (default)
  use Module::Load;
  # imports 'autoload' only
  use Module::Load 'autoload';
  # imports 'autoload' and 'autoload_remote', but don't import 'load';
  use Module::Load qw/autoload autoload_remote/;
=item 'all'
Imports all the functions.
  use Module::Load 'all'; # imports load, autoload, load_remote, autoload_remote
=item '','none',undef
Not import any functions (C<load> and C<autoload> are not imported).
  use Module::Load '';
  use Module::Load 'none';
  use Module::Load undef;
=back
=head1 Caveats
Because of a bug in perl (#19213), at least in version 5.6.1, we have
to hardcode the path separator for a require on Win32 to be C</>, like
on Unix rather than the Win32 C<\>. Otherwise perl will not read its
own %INC accurately double load files if they are required again, or
in the worst case, core dump.
C<Module::Load> cannot do implicit imports, only explicit imports.
(in other words, you always have to specify explicitly what you wish
to import from a module, even if the functions are in that modules'
C<@EXPORT>)
=head1 SEE ALSO
L<Module::Runtime> provides functions for loading modules,
checking the validity of a module name,
converting a module name to partial C<.pm> path,
and related utility functions.
L<"require" in perlfunc|https://metacpan.org/pod/perlfunc#require>
and
L<"use" in perlfunc|https://metacpan.org/pod/perlfunc#use>.
L<Mojo::Loader> is a "class loader and plugin framework",

L<Module::Loader> is a module for finding and loading modules
in a given namespace, inspired by C<Mojo::Loader>.
