NAME

Module::Features::PluginSystem - Features of modules that generate text tables

VERSION

This document describes version 0.002 of Module::Features::PluginSystem (from Perl distribution Module-Features-PluginSystem), released on 2024-03-17.

DESCRIPTION

Glossary

Hook: a named execution point where plugins' handlers get the chance to add behaviors.

Plugin: a code packaged in a Perl module that contains extra behaviors in one or more of /handler/s.

Handler: A subroutine (or method) in a /plugin/ that will get called in a /hook/.

Priority: a number between 0 and 100 signifying the order of execution of a handler compared to handlers for the same hook from other plugins. Lower number means a higher priority (executed first). Default priority if unspecified is 50.

CONTRIBUTING

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.

Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:

% prove -l

If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
