Thanks, although I had already read that before posting.

As far as I can see, there is no way to pass parameters to the ActionClass. Have I missed something?

        Hi,
        I wondered if anyone could point me towards a working example of
        creating custom action attribute handlers for Catalyst?

        eg. The contents of Catalyst::Controller::SecretAgent in the
        example below:


        package MyApp::Controller::M;
        use parent 'Catalyst::Controller::SecretAgent';
        # Provides Vehicle() and Gimmick() actions.

        sub bond : Vehicle('Aston Martin') {
         my ($self, $c) = @_;
         # ...
        }

        sub maxwell_smart : Gimmick('Shoe-phone') {
         My ($self, $c) = @_;
         #...
        }

        1;



    I should clarify what I'm after..
    I'd still like to be able to specify regular DispatchType attributes
    against the routines (eg. Local, Chained, etc), but I'd also like to
    have my own methods called against the other attributes I've specified.

    The first method I tried was:
     package Catalyst::Controller::SecretAgent;
     use strict / use warnings
     use parent 'Catalyst::Controller';
     use attributes __PACKAGE__ => \&set_vehicle, "Vehicle";
     sub set_vehicle { # do something }
     ...

    but I think that messes up catalyst's own handling of attributes.
