[Scoop-dev] Boxes - How the hell do they work?

[Cory R. King]

OK, I'm writing a plugin feature for scoop (dont want to get into the
details right now).  Lets just say I'm taking a tarball, copying the code
into the database, and then I hope to somehow "plug it in" to scoop's
namespace.

I don't want to add these things to startup.pl (though somebody else could
write that part later).  I'd rather the plugins come out of the databse -
in fact it's almost a requirement.

The code is different then boxes in that it is not wrapped in a sandbox
function.  In other words the code looks like:

  sub one { blah blah... }
  sub two { blah blah... }

In otherwords, like a regular .pm

How do plug is into scoops's namespace?

_load_box does this:

	no strict 'refs';
	warn "Evaling $box_id\n" if $DEBUG;
	*{"$S->{BOXES}::$box_id"} = eval( $sandbox );
	warn "Error loading box $box_id: $@" if $@;

But that doesn't work for me (i want it in $S->{PLUGINS}::$plugin_name)
whereas $S->{PLUGINS} = Scoop::Plugins::site_id.

Ideas?
