VERSION

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.
