I've been simply printing to STDERR in my model new method, e.g.

use strict;
use warnings;
use base qw|Catalyst::Component::ACCEPT_CONTEXT Catalyst::Model
Class::Accessor::Fast|;
use NEXT;

package MyApp::Model::Foo;

sub new {
    my $self = shift->NEXT::new(@_);
    print STDERR __PACKAGE__ . "::new called";
    return $self;
}

sub something_else { print STDERR "something_else called\n" }

Do you still need some code? Should new be called for every request or
is there some intentional session caching going on?
