Bug #40830 for Config-Any: Subclassing in the Config::Any Namespace

Hello, i'm subclassing Config::Any to merge configuration variables from differant files. I named my Module Config::Any::Merge, but as Config::Any::finder uses __PACKAGE__ as search_path for Module::Pluggable::Object::new my module is found as possible plugin for Config::any. Maybe it would be saner to use a special Config::Any::Plugin namespace for the plugins. Neither choosing a differant namespace like ConfigAny::Merge nor overloading finder (that's what i'm doing in the moment) seems to be the right choice for me.

I named my Module Config::Any::Merge,

Don't do that! Don't do that! The last thing we need is yet another random Config::Any extension. Please look at Config::Merge Config::Multi Config::JFDI and see if any of those do what you need. If not, please join the effort around the list at http://lists.scsys.co.uk/ to define a Config::Loader module that provides a front end to Config::Any and other configuration sources that everybody can share, rather than keep releasing even more almost-the-same modules to CPAN :) -- Matt S Trout Need help with your Catalyst or DBIx::Class project?
