CatalystX::self - A customized self for Catalyst controllers

Version 0.01

This is a very simple but handy module that shifts some of bits around from self to allow for an easier usage with (and with in) Catalyst controllers.

    package MyApp::Foo;

    use parent 'Catalyst::Controller';
    use CatalystX::self;

    sub bar : Local {
        my ($some,$params) = args;
        self->action_for('name');
        catalyst->response->body('Hello World');
    }

    ...

Simple! Since self and this module utilize Sub::Exporter you may rename the methods as you see fit. Here is an example that renames the args block word into some else and the catalyst block word into the more common and shorter 'c'.

    package MyApp::LostShoes;

    use parent 'Catalyst::Controller';
    use CatalystX::self (
        catalyst => { -as => 'c' },
        args => { -as => 'gnargles' },
        self => { -as => 'this' }
    );

    sub bar : Local {
        this->{shoe} = gnargles;
        c->res->body($this->{shoe});
    }

    ...

You may also use the '-as' import renaming trick to do "aliases".

    use CatalystX::self (
        catalyst => { -as => 'c' },
        '-all'
    );

Now we have both 'catalyst' and 'c' block words.
