[Catalyst] Menu navigation implementation

[Mitchell Jackson]

Jennifer,

I let TemplateTookit do the work for me.  I create a separate menu 
template file to include. That file will check, for each menu item, if 
the user has the ACL roles to see the item.  An example using 
C::P::Authorization::Roles would be:

[% IF Catalyst.check_user_role( 'Admin' ) %]<a href="[% 
Catalyst.uri_for( '/admin' ) %]>Admin Menu</a>[% END # if admin %]
