[Catalyst] New Root Controller in Catalyst 5.66

[Sebastian Riedel]

There has been a small change in trunk for the catalyst.pl generated  
MyApp.pm.
MyApp.pm will no more contain actions, instead we have a  
MyApp::Controller::Root now.

This is another best practice promoted to be part of core, it will  
eliminate namespace collisions like for the famous "login" action in  
combination with auth plugins. ;)

This change does not affect old code, it will all still just work.


A small example (without most comments and pod):

     # MyApp.pm
     package MyApp;

     use strict;
     use warnings;

     use Catalyst qw/-Debug ConfigLoader Static::Simple/;

     our $VERSION = '0.01';

     __PACKAGE__->setup;

     1;


     # MyApp/Controller/Root.pm
     package MyApp::Controller::Root;

     use strict;
     use warnings;
     use base 'Catalyst::Controller';

     #
     # Sets the actions in this controller to be registered with no  
prefix
     # so they function identically to actions created in MyApp.pm
     #
     __PACKAGE__->config->{namespace} = '';

     sub default : Private {
         my ( $self, $c ) = @_;

         # Hello World
         $c->response->body( $c->welcome_message );
     }

     #sub end : Private {
     #    my ( $self, $c ) = @_;
     #
     #    # Forward to View unless response body is already defined
     #    $c->forward( $c->view('') ) unless $c->response->body;
     #}

     1;
