Normally, Catalyst will look for plugins starting in the
Catalyst::Plugin namespace. So, having a line like...
use Catalyst qw/
Session
/;
Will actually look for and load the Catalyst::Plugin::Session package.
The '+' signifies that the plugin is being specified as a
fully-qualified package name. So Catalyst doesn't search within
Catalyst::Plugin for that plugin, it just looks for the package name as
is.
So...
use Catalyst qw/
+MyApp::Plugin::DebugMode
/;
will load the MyApp::Plugin::DebugMode package. Without the '+' it would
try to find Catalyst::Plugin::MyApp::Plugin::DebugMode.
Hope this helps.
