=head1 DESCRIPTION
Module::Load::Conditional provides simple ways to query and possibly load any of
the modules you have installed on your system during runtime.
It is able to load multiple modules at once or none at all if one of
them was not able to load. It also takes care of any error checking
and so forth.
=head1 Methods
=head2 $href = check_install( module => NAME [, version => VERSION, verbose => BOOL ] );
C<check_install> allows you to verify if a certain module is installed
or not. You may call it with the following arguments:
=over 4
=item module
The name of the module you wish to verify -- this is a required key
=item version
The version this module needs to be -- this is optional
=item verbose
Whether or not to be verbose about what it is doing -- it will default
to $Module::Load::Conditional::VERBOSE
=back
It will return undef if it was not able to find where the module was
installed, or a hash reference with the following keys if it was able
to find the file:
=over 4
=item file
Full path to the file that contains the module
=item dir
Directory, or more exact the C<@INC> entry, where the module was
loaded from.
=item version
The version number of the installed module - this will be C<undef> if
the module had no (or unparsable) version number, or if the variable
C<$Module::Load::Conditional::FIND_VERSION> was set to true.
(See the C<GLOBAL VARIABLES> section below for details)
=item uptodate
A boolean value indicating whether or not the module was found to be
at least the version you specified. If you did not specify a version,
uptodate will always be true if the module was found.
If no parsable version was found in the module, uptodate will also be
true, since C<check_install> had no way to verify clearly.
See also C<$Module::Load::Conditional::DEPRECATED>, which affects
the outcome of this value.

### this checks if a certain module is installed already ###
### if it returns true, the module in question is already installed

### to be found in the module
### it will return 0 if the version in the module is LOWER then the one
### we are looking for, or if we couldn't find the desired module to begin with
### if the installed version is higher or equal to the one we want, it will return
### a hashref with he module name and version in it.. so 'true' as well.

=head2 $bool = can_load( modules => { NAME => VERSION [,NAME => VERSION] }, [verbose => BOOL, nocache => BOOL] )
C<can_load> will take a list of modules, optionally with version
numbers and determine if it is able to load them. If it can load *ALL*
of them, it will. If one or more are unloadable, none will be loaded.
This is particularly useful if you have More Than One Way (tm) to
solve a problem in a program, and only wish to continue down a path
if all modules could be loaded, and not load them if they couldn't.
This function uses the C<load> function from Module::Load under the
hood.
C<can_load> takes the following arguments:
=over 4
=item modules
This is a hashref of module/version pairs. The version indicates the
minimum version to load. If no version is provided, any version is
assumed to be good enough.
=item verbose
This controls whether warnings should be printed if a module failed
to load.
The default is to use the value of $Module::Load::Conditional::VERBOSE.
=item nocache
C<can_load> keeps its results in a cache, so it will not load the
same module twice, nor will it attempt to load a module that has
already failed to load before. By default, C<can_load> will check its
cache, but you can override that by setting C<nocache> to true.

=head2 @list = requires( MODULE );
C<requires> can tell you what other modules a particular module
requires. This is particularly useful when you're intending to write
a module for public release and are listing its prerequisites.
C<requires> takes but one argument: the name of a module.
It will then first check if it can actually load this module, and
return undef if it can't.
Otherwise, it will return a list of modules and pragmas that would
have been loaded on the module's behalf.
Note: The list C<require> returns has originated from your current
perl and your current install.

=head1 Global Variables
The behaviour of Module::Load::Conditional can be altered by changing the
following global variables:
=head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::VERBOSE
This controls whether Module::Load::Conditional will issue warnings and
explanations as to why certain things may have failed. If you set it
to 0, Module::Load::Conditional will not output any warnings.
The default is 0;
=head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::FIND_VERSION
This controls whether Module::Load::Conditional will try to parse
(and eval) the version from the module you're trying to load.
If you don't wish to do this, set this variable to C<false>. Understand
then that version comparisons are not possible, and Module::Load::Conditional
can not tell you what module version you have installed.
This may be desirable from a security or performance point of view.
Note that C<$FIND_VERSION> code runs safely under C<taint mode>.
The default is 1;
=head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::CHECK_INC_HASH
This controls whether C<Module::Load::Conditional> checks your
C<%INC> hash to see if a module is available. By default, only
C<@INC> is scanned to see if a module is physically on your
filesystem, or available via an C<@INC-hook>. Setting this variable
to C<true> will trust any entries in C<%INC> and return them for
you.
The default is 0;
=head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::CACHE
This holds the cache of the C<can_load> function. If you explicitly
want to remove the current cache, you can set this variable to
C<undef>
=head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::ERROR
This holds a string of the last error that happened during a call to
C<can_load>. It is useful to inspect this when C<can_load> returns
C<undef>.
=head2 $Module::Load::Conditional::DEPRECATED
This controls whether C<Module::Load::Conditional> checks if
a dual-life core module has been deprecated. If this is set to
true C<check_install> will return false to C<uptodate>, if
a dual-life module is found to be loaded from C<$Config{privlibexp}>
The default is 0;
