I am surprised to see such suggestion. It is full of syntax errors. :)

1) Can't have anything between "use" and a module name.
2) Can't use "if" in the "use" statement at all.
3) Can't use quoted 'Bar' in "use"; a module name bareword is required.


The answer to the original question is:

  BEGIN { eval "use Bar;" if $condition; }

Another possible solution (keep it at column 1):

  =pod
  use Bar;
  =cut

In earlier perls, you may need to add empty lines before the "=" lines.

Mikhael.
