Create the next files and run ue.pl​:

----- ue.pl ---------------------------------
use ue;

----- ue.pm ---------------------------------
package ue;
 
use strict;
use other foo; # << error​: foo is unquoted
 
# put here as much code as you like
# ...
 
1;
 
----- other.pm ------------------------------
package other;
 
# ...
 
1;
---------------------------------------------
 

all you get back is an error like that​:

  Unknown error
  Compilation failed in require at ue.pl line 2.
  BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at ue.pl line 2.

not very helpfull!!!

Cheers,

Thanks for the report. This has been fixed in the development version
of Perl (probably by change #19170), and will eventually appear in 5.10.0
