I know I've been down this thread before. When writing a framework that
generates customized Catalyst apps, it would be a whole lot easier
(well, more proper) to add plugins in lib/MyApp/Plugins, just like we do
with controllers/models/view, than it is to molest the MyApp.pm 'use
Catalyst' line to include custom plugins.
I'm assuming that it's just a matter of tweaking the Module::Pluggable
search paths at the appropriate time when Cat is starting up.
Is this a planned feature for 5.8? Could it be?
Yes, I'll volunteer to put some tuits on it if need be.

Just to keep the conversation rolling, let's put aside the Plugins
directory for the moment.
If you wanted to load plugins from config, what would you like to see?
What would you need?
1. Load all plugins specifically from config, ignoring what's in
MyApp.pm when specified?
plugins:
- ConfigLoader
- Session
- Session::State::Cookie
- Session::Store::File
- +MyApp::Plugin::Frobnisicate
- Static::Simple
++;
but ConfigLoader need to load config?
generally we can do something like:
# MyApp.pm
use Catalyst qw/ConfigLoader/;
__PACKAGE__->setup(); # this would load __PACKAGE__->config;
if ( __PACKAGE__->config->{plugins} ) {
__PACKAGE__->setup_plugins( __PACKAGE__->config->{plugins} );
}
that's it I think.
2. Load plugins from a location?
plugins:
path: __path_to(lib, MyApp, Plugins)
3. Prepend/Append plugins to be loaded around MyApp.pm?
plugins:
prepend:
- Debug
append:
- Static::Simple
- +MyApp::Plugin::Foo
