if - C<use> a Perl module if a condition holds
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use if CONDITION, MODULE => ARGUMENTS;

The construct
use if CONDITION, MODULE => ARGUMENTS;
has no effect unless C<CONDITION> is true. In this case the effect is
the same as of
use MODULE ARGUMENTS;
=head1 BUGS
The current implementation does not allow specification of the
required version of the module.
