NAME

Dist::Zilla::Role::PluginLoader - A Plugin that can load others.

VERSION

version 0.001003

WARNINGS

STOP

You probably don't want to use this module. You either want a @PluginBundle, or PluginLoader::Configurable

WHEN YOU WANT THIS MODULE

  • You don't want a plugin bundle

  • You want something harder to understand for people who use your plugin.

  • You EXPRESSLY wish to hide the loaded modules from things like Dist::Zilla::App::Command::bakeini

  • You are loading a single, or handful of modules, all of which are BLATANTLY obvious DIRECTLY in dist.ini, except with some special loading semantics.

ADVICE

  • Do make consuming plugins have to declare the loaded plugin somehow

  • Do make consuming plugins able to directly configure the loaded plugin somehow

  • If at all possible, load at most, one plugin.

  • If at all possible, and you are loading only one plugin, use PluginLoader::Configurable

  • If you have read this far, and you still are considering using this Role, please contact me, kentnl on #distzilla@irc.perl.org, and let me convince you not to.
