perl-Module-Load-0.320.0-5.mga6.noarch.rpm

Description:

load eliminates the need to know whether you are trying to require either a
file or a module.

If you consult perldoc -f require you will see that require will behave
differently when given a bareword or a string.

In the case of a string, 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 (Acme::Comment) to a
file notation fitting the particular platform you are on.

load elimates the need for this overhead and will just DWYM.
