How To Install perl-Module-Load on CentOS 7

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install perl-Module-Load on CentOS 7.

What is perl-Module-Load

If you consult “perldoc -f require” you will see that “require” will behave differently when given a bare-word or a string. In the case of a string, “require” assumes you are wanting to load a file. But in the case of a bare-word, it assumes you mean a module. This gives nasty overhead when you are trying to dynamically require modules at run-time, since you will need to change the module notation to a file notation fitting the particular platform you are on. “load” eliminates the need for this overhead and will just DWYM.
