How do i should in this case read my config in script context ? MyApp
initializes everything - memcached, dbic, uuid, json, etc.
By writing 'use MyApp' i get everything i need. Additionally, MyApp is
complex system which consists of a lot of modules (by means of C3) and is
not only a web framework. I would be nagged if i do not load Catalyst at
all, then i'll have to use every component from script directly writing a
lot of code instead of nice and short 'use MyApp'. I'd say than Catalyst is
not _Web_ framework, it is _everything framwork_. In my own opinion it is
better to make a little difference for scripts
(use MyApp { offline =3D> 1 }) - which will not load web stuff and get start
lighter, but framework will stay with many features for such scripts - for
example, automatic pid file with double execution prevent, wrapping script
for errors detection on log files and many other, i.e. still
framework-driven system,  not script-driven.
