At least with some versions of perl, the require gets evaluated at compile 
time and raises an exception even if it is enclosed by the eval {} braces.  
The only way to get around this is to eval the string.

I'm not sure whether this is a current issue or was a problem with 5.00503, 
but I've kept it in.
