Catalyst::Plugin::ConfigurablePathTo - Provides a configurable path_to()

Version 0.01

This plugin provides a way to have generic configurable paths in Catalyst.

  # in myapp.yml

  path_to:

    profiles: /usr/local/profiles

    tempfiles: /tmp/myapp_tempfiles

    ...

  # in some Catalyst controller

    # 'profiles' is defined in the config file, so you'll
    # get '/usr/local/profiles' back
    my $profiles_path = $c->path_to('profiles');

    # it also correctly creates the paths, using Path::Class
    # you'll get '/tmp/myapp_tempfiles/file.tmp' back
    my $temp_path = $c->path_to('tempfiles', 'file.tmp');

    # performs as the original path_to() would if it's not defined
    # in the config file
    my #other_path = $c->path_to('other');

If $path[0] represents an already configured path in the application config file, $path[0] is replaced with the configured path and @path is merged into a Path::Class object.

Otherwise, @path is merged with $c->config->{home} into a Path::Class object.
