NAME

     if - "use" a Perl module if a condition holds

SYNOPSIS

       use if CONDITION, MODULE => ARGUMENTS;

DESCRIPTION

     The construct

       use if CONDITION, MODULE => ARGUMENTS;

     has no effect unless "CONDITION" is true.  In this case the
     effect is the same as of

       use MODULE ARGUMENTS;

     Above "=>" provides necessary quoting of "MODULE".  If not
     used (e.g., no ARGUMENTS to give), you'd better quote
     "MODULE" yourselves.

BUGS

     The current implementation does not allow specification of
     the required version of the module.
