Do we have the same problem with non action subroutines in a Controller? Because we have to remember that an action declared in a controller is being wrapped into it's own class, so we have to expect that sub won't work quite the same way as plain old Perl packages. However 'normal' subs should work fine. I'm not so familiar with the attribute handling module you've talked about, so I can't really be sure, but I'd be curious if someone could try: sub my_action :Local { my ($self, $c) = @_; } sub not_an_action :CustomAttribute { my $self = shift @_; } This trick might also work in a custom action class. Try to think of Catalyst Components as wrappers to other stuff and it will help. Definitely it's great practice to design stuff that works as a plain old perl object and then bring it into Cat using action classes, models, etc. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Choose the right car based on your needs.
