You have a few options. If the method has no need for $c, just do

    $self->subroutine().

If it needs access to $c, you have two options. First, forward, which
passes $c automatically:

    $c->forward('subroutine');

If you want the cleanliness of the first way, but still need $c, simply
use ACCEPT_CONTEXT to store a WEAKENED reference to $c in %$self, then
get it in the method.

    $self->subroutine()

    sub subroutine {
      my $self =3D shift;
      my $c =3D $self->{'_weakened_context'};

      $c->Request-param(...);
    }

At least that's how I've done it:

r/Form.pm

I could be horribly wrong on that. :-)
