Hi Scott,

thank for your reply, in having a go at using Catalyst::View::JSON i  
keep running into the

"... encountered object 'MyApp::Model::DB::Experiment=HASH(0xe8ac4c)',  
but neither allow_blessed nor convert_blessed settings ... "

error. I'm getting data from DBIC but can't figure out how to get that  
into Catalyst::View::JSON. The "hello world" example works fine, but  
when trying to adapt this i run into trouble

sub hello : Local {
       my($self, $c) = @_;
#      $c->stash->{message} = 'Hello World!';

       $c->stash->{books} = [$c->model('DB::Books')->all];  ### this  
doesn't work....

       $c->forward('MyApp::View::JSON');
}

any pointers into the right syntax/approach here would be greatly  
appreciated. I presume i have to write some kind of JSON encoder for  
the data coming out of $c->model('DB::Books')->all?

thanks again for your help
