Hi all,

I was talking about how we could override default Koha modules with customized versions by just making sure those modules were located earlier in @INC.

That got me thinking… at the moment we put Koha Plugins at the bottom of @INC, but we could actually put them at the start of @INC.

They would be more dangerous as they’d be able to override any Perl module… but they would also be more powerful.

In the context of a Koha where controllers are Perl modules (e.g. Mojolicious controllers) rather than Perl scripts, a plugin could override any controller in Koha. That could make for very powerful and seamless customizations.

Anyway, something to think about.

Cheers,
