Re^5: Adding a class to a module - Can Module::Starter or Dist::Zilla help?

I found that i could use the --plugin=Module::Starter::Smart argument, to use the plugin. Now it works properly.

I still don't know why the configuration line's plugin: Module::Starter::Smart didn't work previously. While all the others worked properly.

Edit: Well, i get it now. I can use one plugin or the other, but not both, as they inherit from the same class (Module::Starter::Simple). So, Module::Starter::PBP and Module::Starter::Smart won't work simultaneously.
Well... They will, if i cheat. I just changed Module/Starter/Smart.pm, so that it inherits from Module::Starter::PBP, instead of Module::Starter::Simple. It works !

Is there any way to make a cleaner solution, from this dirty one?

Ok, i found my solution for now. It also works when i do the opposite inheritance : when Module::Starter::PBP inherits from Module::Starter::Smart. So, i'll create my own plugin, maybe called Module::Starter::PBP::Perso. It will just be a copy-paste of Module::Starter::PBP, inheriting from MS-Smart instead of MS-Simple. And anyway, i'll have to read the source code and change little details in the module, in order to add the creation of the `./t/My/Example/Class/01_unit_test.t` file, as well as `./t/lib My/Example/Class/Builder.pm`. And i'll try to add my Log4perl configuration stuff at the same time. ~ ~ ~ I'm still curious on whether Dist::Zilla proposes something to do this.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I appreciate this post immensely! I dont know if this helps to identify any additional issues, but local::lib can add confusion with this on top of use of multiple prefixes. Of course this means multiple module destinations, depending on "package" install or "manual" install. When I say "package" i mean stuff like apt, yum, rpm.. manual here refers to using cpan(p/m) and the like, which isn't what you would usually imagine. Furthermore, I never came across an initial install sequence that would result in ::Smart being used instead of ::Simple (without the --plugin argument, or script editing directly).	[reply]
