[Catalyst] Killing the standalone perl server programatically

[Kieren Diment]

  sub quit : Local {
      exit 1;
  }

and <a href="[% c.uri_for('quit') %]" onClick="return confirm('This  
will terminate  your session. Are you sure?')">Quit</a>

both worked fine for me when I did this the other day.

But that was using a desktop OS (Windows and OS X fwiw), not a mobile  
platform.
