I'm pretty confident that I have most everything necessary in the long list
of modules in webmux.pl.  The later, repeated calls to use are ignored.

It happens at module compile-time.  if a module is required part way 
through program execution, its 'use' directives get evaluated then.  
This is particularly useful when you don't want to compile all 50 kloc
of RT for every invocation of the CLI.  

The main case where this is different is with scrips. which are a whole
other kettle of fish.
