require Foo::Bar behavior different from eval 'require Foo::Bar'

[Michael G Schwern]

This is odd:

$ perl -wle "require Pod::Man;  print $@"

$ perl -wle "eval 'require Pod::Man';  print $@"
Pod/Man.pm did not return a true value at (eval 1) line 3.

$ perl -v

This is perl, v5.8.0 built for VMS_AXP


Pod::Man doesn't have an explicit true value at the end.  I've seen this
with other modules.  Why is the behavior different when its eval'd?

I only see this behavior on VMS.
