Well, that's what I was thinking of actually.
However, your following code looks interesting :)

I tried to follow your advices, but unfortunately, I looks like
MyApp->model().. does not work :

Couldn't instantiate component "MyApp::Model::Mapping", "Can't
locate object method "model" via package "MyApp::Model::Mapping"
....

I also tried with $self without success :(


Cheers
