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.
