Use `require()` with `node --eval`
- by rentzsch
When utilizing node.js's newish support for --eval, I get an error (ReferenceError: require is not defined) when I attempt to use require().
Here's an example of the failure:
$ node --eval 'require("http");'
undefined:1
^
ReferenceError: require is not defined
at eval at <anonymous> (node.js:762:36)
at eval (native)
at node.js:762:36
$
Here's a working example of using require() typed into the REPL:
$ node
> require("http");

Is there a way to use require() with node's --eval?
I'm on node 0.2.6 on Mac OS X 10.6.5.
