You may rest your case all you like (;-), but I was merely trying to
point out:

 - why "use" does it's stuff at compile time, i.e. in an implied BEGIN
block
 - why the code phrase { eval "use ModuleName" } may not work as a
substitute
 - why replacing "use" with "require", even when accompanied with
"import", may not be good enough.

You usually need the (implied) "BEGIN", like it or not. The test inside
the BEGIN block looks like the cleanest approach. I think I would opt
for an external library file, only require()d on MacOS, and which
contains the "use" line, I guess, and a different library file for Unix.
