As aardvark179 already mentioned this is different. There are modules on CPAN which will allow you to also do class/module path munging like this and it's fully baked into Perl6: http://perlcabal.org/syn/S11.html#Versioning

Yes having dynamic scoping gives Perl a very powerful programming instrument . And the lack of dynamic scoping in Ruby can cause problems elsewhere: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5072925 PS. I seem fond of dynamic scoping because I

It's strange then that memory leaks seem to be much more prevalent in Ruby than it is in the Perl world?
