Hi!
How could I implement a system in Perl, in which portions of code
(plugins) are loaded dynamically from a given location, and then executed?
Lets assume I have a main program main.pl and it is loading the plugins
from a given directory, with names like plugin1.plug, etc., that are
also perl files.
The task is quite simple, all I want the plugins to do is that they get
some data, work with it, and give back some data.
It is important, that main.pl will get the list of plugins dynamically,
so adding a new one should be a copy to the given directory and no
modification of main.pl
It would also be important, that if a plugin fails to load (syntax
errors, etc.) then the main program shouldn't crash, but go on,
discarding the plugin, and writing some error to screen.
Is there a good well-known way to accomplish this? Has anybody done
something like this?
Thanks in advance.
