I've been trying to think of a way to do just that given what I am trying to
accomplish.
Basically we have an application server of sorts and have added our own
custom tags. I chose not to use the plugin architecture for adding new
functionality because I didn't like having to call [% use MyModule %] before
accessing functions in MyModule. Furthermore I want to put the custom
functions in a hierarchy, such as forms.methods, payment.methods, etc.. I
know this sounds picky, but so far from user feedback people really like
just being able to call the various functions without the need for the [%
USE %] statement, or without having to say explicitly call [% myobj =
mypackage.new %], and the hierarchy makes things easier and more intuitive
for most people also.
I think that my best course is to probably just keep the number of modules
that contain custom tags to a relatively small number, which is fine.
