Just for information, why do you say that? The tutorial suggests doing just that.

Doing that to load non-Catalyst plugins buys you nothing, and obscures how modules are loaded. For example, when I want to find all the modules I'm using, I usually do something like this:

  grep -r '^use '

Then I might run that through sort and uniq to trim the list.

Why add yet another way to load modules? It's not like passing module names to catalyst like that will do something different.

Where in the tutorial does it suggest you load non-Catalyst modules like this?


Sorry, it wasn't the tutorial, but the catalyst POD under the Description section:

If your plugin starts with a name other than Catalyst::Plugin::, you can fully qualify the name by using a unary plus:

  use Catalyst qw/
      My::Module
      +Fully::Qualified::Plugin::Name
  /;

But it's OK as I'm persuaded by the previous arguments that it is better to load non-plugin modules in the controllers as needed. DBIx::Class::QueryLog was probably a better example to cite which I previously loaded as +DBIx::Class::QueryLog.
