Module::Pluggable::Object(3)         User Contributed Perl Documentation        Module::Pluggable::Object(3)



NAME
       Module::Pluggable::Object - automatically give your module the ability to have plugins

SYNOPSIS
       Simple use Module::Pluggable -package Module::Pluggablepackage

           package MyClass;
           use Module::Pluggable::Object;

           my $finder = Module::Pluggable::Object->new(%opts);
           print "My plugins are: ".join(", ", $finder->plugins)."\n";

DESCRIPTION
       Provides a simple but, hopefully, extensible way of having 'plugins' for your module. Obviously this
       isn't going to be the be all and end all of solutions but it works for me.

       Essentially all it does is export a method into your namespace that looks through a search path for
       .pm files and turn those into class names.

       Optionally it instantiates those classes for you.
