Yes, been there and done that.  Write a standalone model (e.g. in  
Myapp/MyStandaloneModel.pm) that you can use the bulk of the code in  
the controller and the script.  Use Catalyst::Model::Adaptor and  
ACCEPT context to get the logic of this standalone model out of the  
controller and into the catalyst model.
