CatalystX::GlobalContext - Export Catalyst Context

Version 0.020

package MyApp::Controller::Root;
use CatalystX::GlobalContext ();
sub auto {
my ($self, $c) = @_;
CatalystX::GlobalContext->set_context($c);

do stuff with $c

This module, in combination with Catalyst::Controller::WrapCGI or Catalyst::Controller::CGIBin is for helping you run legacy mod_perl code in Catalyst.
You save a copy of $c somewhere at the beginning of the request cycle, and it is then accessible through an export where you need it.
You can then rip out Apache:: type things, and replace them with things based on $c.
What we really need is a set of Apache:: compatibility classes, but that doesn't exist yet.
DO NOT USE THIS MODULE IN NEW CODE

Saves a weakened reference to the Catalyst context, which is accessible from other modules as an export.
