[Catalyst] getting the db connection used by catalyst

[Daniel McBrearty]

if you have a (dbix) database, and use it as a model, you generally
end up doing this :

$c->model-> ....

and the database connection is handled internally.

I now want to write another model which uses the db. It would be
better to use the existing connection that cat has created, rather
than create another one.

If I write a new() method for this model, does it have access to the
context? what is a good way to do this?
