Hi all,
This should be painfully obvious, but I don't see it :)
For a personal project, I want users to be able to click on a letter and get a
list of countries starting with that letter. I can do this:
my $letters = $c->model('DB')->storage->dbh->selectcol_arrayref(
'select distinct(substr(name,1,1)) as letter from country order by
letter'
);
$c->stash->{letters} = $letters;
But the country list is static and I want this available at startup. 'sub
begin' fails because that's called once per request, not once per app.
What's the recommend way of handling this? (I'm using DBIx::Class for the
model)
Cheers,
Ovid
