[Catalyst] Catalyst::Test for Web Services

[Andrew Peebles]

I wonder if I am off base here, or thought of something clever ...

I wrote an email popper to deal with user replies to "issue" state 
changes in a issue tracker app.  The popper retrieves email, and wants 
to put the body of the mail in as an update to an existing issue.  But 
the logic internal to the Cat app on an issue state change is somewhat 
complex, and I didn't want to repeat that logic in my popper.  So I 
leveraged Catalyst::Test ...

use Catalyst::Test 'MyApp';
(... get the email message ...)
my $r = POST '/issues/proxy_manager/',
        [ iid => $id, email => $email, content => $bag{content}, 
attachments => $att ];
request( $r );

Seems to do the trick ... a kind of "web services" api ...
