[Catalyst] Catalyst best practices?

[John Napiorkowski]

Actually I didn't know about the -I setting.  I'm going to check the docs on that.  I agree that it would be a big change and would require a lot of community feedback.  Right now I think all of us concentrating on the basics and growing the community is the best bet.  --john

As you know, this is already possible.  That lib directory at the root of  
your tree is Catalyst's -I setting. This is why you have to access controllers  
as myapp::Controller::mycontroller and models as myapp::Model::mymodel. In your 
tree above, myapp has been renamed "local". 
 
 
So unless you're allergic to writing myapp::site::something::or::other and  
myapp::vendor::some::other::module you're already equipped. 
 
I do like the idea of a config setting for lib dirs, but I wonder about the timing,  
of loading the various modules and plugins.  Specifically will configloader execute,  
and set the lib path correctly before cat tries to load any of you local plugins,  
or perl tries to locate and use() local modules. 
 
 
I think that  prefer to maintain a single root lib  directory.
