Subject: Plugin does not prevent more than one instance of itself running
If, say, a plugin bundle included this plugin, and then it was included separately, both copies run, which results in multiple entries being added to the .pm file (and worse, they can even use different values).. all without the developer noticing. The plugin should die noisily if it is included more than once.
Hi APOCAL, are you still doing Perl development, or otherwise busy with other things? If not, I'd be interested taking on comaint of this module -- but no pressure, it's totally fine if you don't want to take that route, too!
Hello, Yes, I agree with you! I've just released v1.008 that dies when it detects a different authority being loaded. Thanks again :) On Thu Jul 04 13:18:53 2013, ETHER wrote: Show quoted text
