Class::DBI::Plugin is an abstract base class for Class::DBI plugins.
|
||
|
|
Its purpose is to make writing plugins easier. Writers of plugins
|
||
|
|
should be able to concentrate on the functionality their module
|
||
|
|
provides, instead of having to deal with the symbol table hackery
|
||
|
|
involved when writing a plugin module. Only three things must be
|
||
|
|
remembered:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. All methods which are to exported are given the "Plugged"
|
||
|
|
attribute. All other methods are not exported to the plugged-in
|
||
|
|
class.
|
||
|
|
2. Method calls which are to be sent to the plugged-in class
|
||
|
|
are put in the init() method. Examples of these are set_sql(),
|
||
|
|
add_trigger() and so on.
|
||
|
|
3. The class parameter for the init() method and the "Plugged"
|
||
|
|
methods is the plugged-in class, not the plugin class.
