=head1 NAME

Paranoid::Module -- Paranoid Module Loading Routines

=head1 VERSION

$Id: lib/Paranoid/Module.pm, 2.00 2016/05/13 19:42:03 acorliss Exp $

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use Paranoid::Module;

  $rv = loadModule($module, qw(:all));

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This provides a single function that allows you to do dynamic loading of
modules at runtime, along with importation of the exported symbol table.
Specific functions and/or tag sets can be declared, just as you would in a
normal B<use> or B<import> statement.

=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS

=head2 loadModule

  $rv = loadModule($module, qw(:all));

Accepts a module name and an optional list of arguments to 
use with the import function.  Returns a true or false depending
whether the require was successful.

=head1 BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

The B<loadModule> cannot be used to require external files, it can only be
used to load modules in the existing library path.  In addition, while we
track what symbol sets (if any) were imported to the caller's name space the
return value doesn't reflect the value of the B<import> method.  This is
intentional because not every module out there offers a properly coded
B<import> function or inherits it from L<Exporter(3)>).  The return value 
from B<import> is ignored.
