It should not because CAR works totally differently. =A0However if you are =
using Catalyst::ActionRole::MatchMethods
you no longer need to because this change basically cored that functionalit=
y.

The new http method matching role is only applied when the dispatcher notic=
es you've used one of the new subroutine attributes. =A0So unless you've do=
ne some custom action roles that use GET, POST, etc. you should have no tro=
uble.

As always I recommend you test before sending this to production. =A0And co=
mplain hard if you find problems.
