So it seems it’s OK to whack them in the main MyApp.pm , here is an example of what is currently in a ‘MemberGlobs.pm’, which is ‘required’ in 90% of all the perl scripts.
##########
# Yank Date #
##########
sub YankDate {
#_[0] = UK Date
# split to parts
my @dte = split(/\//, $_[0]);
# rebuild to yank date
my $yank = "$dte[2]-$dte[1]-$dte[0]";
# return result
$yank;
}
I’m forever having to switch between UK dates and USA dates so have helper
methods.
Where do these go?
Also where do you put application global constants?
Thanks,
Craig.

Hello Craig,
See the last answer. abraxxa describes it pretty well. Are those catalyst
specific? Probably provide an example so someone could provide a better
solution.
Cheers,

Hi,
Please could you advise the best way of having a global ‘helper’ class that has
all commonly used methods in it accessible for any part of the catalyst app.
I found this thread
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11941836/catalyst-global-subroutines
With one indicating it’s ok to put them in the main MyApp.pm and another saying
to use Moose & Roles.
What is considered the correct way and could you provide an example of how I
create this helper class and bolt it to the Catalyst application.
Many thanks,
Craig Chant
