OT: use problem (need interpolation)

[Jerrad Pierce <Je...@networkengines.com>]

Is there anyway to fool perl into letting you do a:

use Foo ($bar, 'baz', 'quux');

??

Foo is only getting 'baz' and 'quux', the value of $bar is lost in the
ether.
I have tried many ways of trying to sneak it past but none seems to work...

Thanks

use is syntactically equiavalent to
BEGIN
	{
	require Foo;
	Foo->import(@argarray);
	}

so $baz will need to be defined at compile time, ie. within its own BEGIN
block.
