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.
