Subject: src/plugin.c: Move the perl and python "global" magic to plugin_load().
X-Git-Tag: collectd-5.4.0~39
X-Git-Url: https://git.tokkee.org/?p=collectd.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=003c6e86b4807923a40a89112327dda39057f783

src/plugin.c: Move the perl and python "global" magic to plugin_load().

The config file handling is really not the best place to have this. Also,
the feature I'm working on would have to copy this magic if left in the
config code, and I *really* don't want that.
