+=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
+    load 'Data::Dumper';    # ditto
+    load $module            # tritto
+    
+    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, ':standard'   # like 'use CGI qw[:standard]'
+    
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+C<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<load> eliminates the need for this overhead and will just DWYM.
+
+=head1 Rules
+
+C<load> has 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> first in C<@INC> and if that fails,
+we will try to find C<file.pm> in @INC.
+If both fail, we die with the respective error messages.
+
+=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>)
+

+
+Thanks to Jonas B. Nielsen for making explicit imports work.
