Marc,
I just did the opposite for an old Mason site at work the other day.
I embedded mason pages in catalyst. I.e., I used
Catalyst::View::Mason and created a controller that forwarded all the
mason pages to it.
Because Catalyst::View::Mason uses Mason without Apache you won't
have access to $r. For my purposes this wasn't a big deal. As a quick
hack in my controller I put $c->stash->{backend} = 'catalyst'. Then
in the autohandler I dropped:
<%args>
$backend
</$args>
my $r = $c->request if $backend eq 'catalyst';
$r and $c->request were similar enough that this worked for me. Your
milage may vary.
cheers,
Garrett

I have a somewhat big HTML::Mason `classic' web-site, with web pages
that include all kinds of Mason components.
I'd like to migrate all of that to Catalyst, but it's not going to
happen
overnight, and the application must keep running.
So I was wondering if there was any guide to this kind of `inside-out'
refactoring.
Specifically, I see how I can get the Mason app coexisting with
Catalyst
stuff, I also have a plan to migrate the DBI glue to DBIx::Class,
but I
would like to keep using the Mason infrastructure for now, and by able
to invoke catalyst parts as Mason components, e.g., a web page served
by mason:
some static content...
some mason stuff.
<& invoke/some/external_compoent /&>

what should I put to be able to have part of my catalyst app there ?
I understand it will require having two views (full catalyst app, and
html fragments for HTML::Mason), but I don't see how to run the
controller
from Mason...
