  • I read the name and automatically assumed you were writing something which would unload or not load a module. I couldn't imagine how that would be useful, but that's what I assumed.

    Cool idea though. Might suggest calling it Module::CheckLoad or something like that.

    • "NoLoad" was intentional (better names welcome). For example:

      use Module::NoLoad
          'Overrides::SIG::DIE' => { silent => 1 };

      Is equivalent to this:

      BEGIN {
          $INC{'lib/Overrides/SIG/DIE.pm'} = 'Module::NoLoad';
      }

      This, of course, silently stops this module from being loaded. The fatal version would require a higher version of Perl:

      use Module::NoLoad
          'Meta', 'Acme::pwn3d';
      __END__
      # equivalent to:
      use Carp;
      BEGIN {
          my %package_for = (
