Bug #76931 for Class-Load: a method that returns the class name

this kind of goes along with my load_class_ok, but it'd be without the Test::Builder... not sure what the function would be called... my $class = ret_class( 'Class::Foo' ); # or exception this would also allow my $obj = ret_class('Class::Foo')->new(); -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.com

I don't see why load_class itself couldn't just be modified to do this (use_module from Module::Runtime does this, for instance). Having a separate function for it seems odd. -doy

it's possible that it could? I'm not really sure how Class::Load works in the guts, or what kind of an API would be desire-able. I am more interested in reducing my Lines of Code. my $obj = try { load_class('Foo')->new; } ... seems far preferable to my $obj = try { my $class = 'Foo'; load_class('Foo'); $foo->new; } or (obviously different use case ) use Foo; my $obj = Foo->new; obviously these seems silly but when the class name is 46 characters long it starts seeming less silly -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.com

I've also determined that `load_class` in https://metacpan.org/module/Plack::Util behaves in the way I've suggested (and a little more it seems) -- Caleb Cushing http://xenoterracide.com
