CatalystX::GlobalContext - Export Catalyst Context

    package MyApp::Controller::Root;

    use CatalystX::GlobalContext ();

    sub auto : Private {
        my ($self, $c) = @_;
        CatalystX::GlobalContext->set_context($c);
        1;
    }

    package Some::Other::Module;

    use CatalystX::GlobalContext '$c';

    ...
    do stuff with $c
    ...

This module, in combination with Catalyst::Controller::WrapCGI or Catalyst::Controller::CGIBin is for helping you run legacy mod_perl code in Catalyst.

You save a copy of $c somewhere at the beginning of the request cycle, and it is then accessible through an export where you need it.

You can then rip out Apache:: type things, and replace them with things based on $c.

What we really need is a set of Apache:: compatibility classes, but that doesn't exist yet.

DO NOT USE THIS MODULE IN NEW CODE

Saves a weakened reference to the Catalyst context, which is accessible from other modules as an export.
