NAME
    Mrequire - require on Perl extensions at run time

SYNOPSIS
      require Mrequire;
      my $class = ('Foo::Bar', 'Bar::Baz')[int(rand + .5)];
      Mrequire::mrequire($class);
      &Mrequire::new($class, $arg1, $arg2, ...);

      use Mrequire qw(mrequire);
      mrequire(...)

DESCRIPTION
    Mrequire can be used to dynamically load Perl extensions at run time.
    This becomes necessary if the decision of what kind of module you want
    to use (or is available at all) is made at run time.

    In addition you can call constructor-like functions (which assume the
    package name as their first argument, see pertoot(1) for details) of
    dynamically loaded modules via Mrequire.

METHODS
    mrequire($class)
       Does a "require" on package $class. If a respective library file
       cannot be loaded the process dies.

    &Mrequire::constructor($class, $arg1, $arg2, ...)
       Calls function "constructor" in package $class. It is assumed that
       "constructor" expects the package name as a first argument.

BUGS
    Yes. Please let me know!
