Honestly, that module is horrible - monkeypatching MyApp.pm to add the $c->svgttg method is ... no. Just, no. Would you be interested in instead chatting to me and the rest of Catalyst core to discuss how to replace this module with something sanely written? -- Matt S Trout - Shadowcat Systems - Perl consulting with a commit bit and a clue http://shadowcat.co.uk/blog/matt-s-trout/ http://twitter.com/shadowcat_mst/ Email me now on mst (at) shadowcat.co.uk and let's chat about how our Catalyst commercial support, training and consultancy packages could help your team.
