[dancer-users] Namespace for load_app modules

[Damien Krotkine]

And I'll make the tactical mistake of jumping into this thread after a
long day :) and say that I agree with Sawyer and Yanick.

I'd like to add this:

Let's say you publish Dancer::App::MyGreatApp for other people to use.
Some of them will use it as is, like without touching it, but others
(most of them ?) will want to tweak it, change some stuff, expand on it,
etc.

And it will be much easier if it's a plugin.

If you know POE, I think I could compare what you're trying to publish
as a POE component. That would be translated in  a Dancer::Plugin.

Now, if your code can't fit in a plugin, then first, we'd like to see
the code, and second, if it's really out of the Plugin's league, then we
could think of something else. Like Dancer::Component. But I honestly
doubt it can't fit into a Plugin

dams.
