Re: How to see what is available in Module::Namespace::*

So, basically, to load every available module matching /MyModule::Plugins::\w+/ you can do:

for (@INC) {
  my $path = "$_/MyModule/Plugins";
  for my $m (<$path/*.pm>) {
     $m =~ s{^\Q$_\E/}{}; # strip off everything leading up to MyModul
+e...
     $m =~ s{/}{::}g;     # replace / with ::
     $m =~ s{\.pm$}{};    # remove extension
     eval "use $m;";      # use MyModule::Plugin::Whatever
     die if $@;           # propagate exceptions
   }
}

updated: fixed glob

That only searches one of `@INC`'s directories, and it has portability issues. Fix: use Path::Class qw( dir ); use Scalar::Util qw( reftype ); my $base_pkg = __PACKAGE__ . '::Plugins'; my %plugins; my @subdirs = split(/::/, $base_pkg); for (@INC) { next if reftype($_); ++$plugins{"{$base_pkg}::$_"} for grep /^\.pm\z/, map $_->basename(), grep !$_->is_dir(), dir($_, @subdirs)->children(); } ( my $base_dir = $base_pkg ) =~ s{::}{/}g; ++$plugins{"{$base_pkg}::$_"} for map m{^\Q$base_dir\E/([^/]+)\.pm\z}, keys(%INC); my @plugins = sort keys(%plugins); # Load them all! for my $plugin (@plugins) { eval("require \E$plugin\Q") or die("Loading plugin $plugin: $@"); } [download] You gotta be careful that the file name case matches the package name case on case-agnostic systems. You've got a problem if there's a caseless system out there. Maybe some heuristics would help (such as scanning the .pm for a matching `package` statement and use its case). Scanning `%INC` is useful for getting around the problem of a package manager creating a virtual file system using a reference in `@INC`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
