[Koha-devel] Location of plugins in @INC

[dcook at prosentient.com.au]

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,
