[Catalyst] Next steps

[Joe Landman]

Hi folks:

   I now have the bits up and seemingly talking to the database.  Took a 
few hours off to think about why the myapp_create.pl would error out 
when creating the Model.  Seems that a good log off/log on fixed 
everything (not sure why, possibly a running server instance).

   I am building a main page which serves as the login page for the 
system.  I am assuming that it makes more sense to have this go through 
a login/authentication controller than to do this in the main module. 
Is this correct?  I think I have seen this both ways now (suggestions of 
using a controller, and the documentation on 
http://search.cpan.org/~sri/Catalyst-5.61/lib/Catalyst/Manual/Cookbook.pod#Require_user_logins 
which suggests doing this in the main module).

   Basically I want to have all access to the system go through the 
login system (with timed sessions), and implement roles from there (end 
user, admin).

   Any thoughts on whether the separate controller is needed/desired?

   Thanks!

Joe
