=head1 NAME
if - C<use> a Perl module if a condition holds
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use if CONDITION, MODULE => ARGUMENTS;
=head1 DESCRIPTION
The construct
use if CONDITION, MODULE => ARGUMENTS;
has no effect unless C<CONDITION> is true. In this case the effect is
the same as of
use MODULE ARGUMENTS;
Above C<< => >> provides necessary quoting of C<MODULE>. If not used (e.g.,
no ARGUMENTS to give), you'd better quote C<MODULE> yourselves.
=head1 BUGS
The current implementation does not allow specification of the
required version of the module.
