It is a thin veneer around Module::Runtime. . There are two major benefits over using Module::Runtime directly: . * Self-documents recommended modules together with versions at the top of your code, while still loading them on demand elsewhere. * Dies if a recommended module exists but fails to compile, but doesn't die if the module is missing or the version is insufficient. This is not something that Module::Runtime offers in a single subroutine.
