That's precisely what chained actions are for: sub content : Chained('/') CaptureArgs(0) PathPart('content/as') { my($self, $c) = @_; $c->stash->{data} = $c->model('Content'); } # /content/as/html -- renders root/content/as/html.tt sub html : Chained('content') Args(0) {} # /content/as/text -- renders root/content/as/text.tt sub text : Chained('content') Args(0) {} # /content/as/graph # doesn't process a template at all as long as View::SVG sets $c->res->body sub graph : Chained('content') Args(0) { my($self, $c) = @_; $c->forward('View::SVG'); # sets res->body, res->content_type, etc. } sub whatever : Chained('content') Args(0) { #etc... } # insert jshirley's end action here what's missing? -- Eden Cardim Need help with your Catalyst or DBIx::Class project?
