Bug #7740 for Bot-BasicBot-Pluggable: modules aren't loaded from "./Modules/" as documented

Subject:

modules aren't loaded from "./Modules/" as documented

The Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable documentation says the following about the load() method: Load a module for the bot by name, from, by preference './Modules/$module.pm', but will fall back to Bot::BasicBot::Pluggable::Module::$module if this isn't available. However, ./Modules/ doesn't seem to be searched at all, and the actual function doesn't seem to try to do so. So either the documentation should be updated to remove this functionality, or the functionality should actually be added.

These error seems to be fixed in one of the earlier releases, but i can't find the exact version. The new behaviour is to try loading the modules from the current directory first, then ./modules and after that @INC. Actually there's still a documentation bug as loading from the current directory is not mentioned in pod, but that is fixed in git and will be part of the next release. Thanks for reporting this bug! Best wishes, Mario
