+Certain applications like to defer the decision to use a particular module
+till runtime. This is possible in perl, and is a useful trick in
+situations where the type of data is not known at compile time and the
+application doesn't wish to pre-compile modules to handle all types of
+data it can work with. Loading modules at runtime can also provide
+flexible interfaces for perl modules. Modules can let the programmer
+decide what modules will be used by it instead of hard-coding their names.
