DESCRIPTION

Base class for Blosxom plugins. Inspired by Blosxom 3 which was abandoned to be released.

BACKGROUND

Blosxom globalizes a lot of variables. This module assigns them to appropriate namespaces like 'Request', 'Response' or 'Config'. In addition, it's intended that Blosxom::Plugin::* namespace will abstract routines from Blosxom plugins.

METHODS

$class->load_components( @comps )

Loads the given components into the current module. If a module begins with a + character, it is taken to be a fully qualified class name, otherwise Blosxom::Plugin is prepended to it.

$class->add_method( $method => $coderef )

This method takes a method name and a subroutine reference, and adds the method to the class. Available while loading components.

DEPENDENCIES

Blosxom 2.0.0 or higher.

SEE ALSO

Blosxom::Plugin::Core, Amon2

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

Blosxom was originally written by Rael Dohnfest. The Blosxom Development Team succeeded to the maintenance.

BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

This module is beta state. API may change without notice.
