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?
The action class is passed the attributes when it is constructed in its
arguments.
However - before we get into this, I recommend you write an ActionRole
(ala Catalyst::Controller::ActionRole) instead of an action class, as
you can use multiple actionroles together (which is not the case with
action classes).
Simple example of some prior art you can steal to get you going:

Thanks, that's great.
So to summarise, the "best practice" way of passing parameters to these
attribute-handlers is by using more attributes, that you *don't*
specifically handle, but access via $c->action->attributes->{..}
I think that's right?
Cheers,
Toby
