OK. Bad news first. All of the Catalyst helper code needs to be
rewritten in 0.99_0x. The code included in the dist is the old 0.33
code. That process hasn't been started in earnest since I'm still
refactoring the Storage layer. :-/

As soon as I'm done writing tests and pod for the Storage/Storage::DBIC
stuffs, it is my #1 priority.

Yeah. That last big set of pod on my list is Tuts or Cookbookage on
initial setup and customizing tables/schemas.

Now, as for the mode problem, this may help (see attached files). It's
what I have on my USB stick at the moment. Just copy Cart ro Order and
change the appropriate class_name bits...

Connection info can be set using:

__PACKAGE__->config(
    connection_info => []
)

in the apps models, or you can set it in the yml file:

Mode::Cart:
  connection_info:
    - dbi:Sqlite:handel.db

etc...Alternatively, this might work (untested):

If you're using the existing helper code, you're going to get bit by
template names as well...so you may need to set TEMPLATE_EXTENSION =>
'.tt' as well.

Unfortunately, 0.99_0x are dev releases, so you're un as-yet uncharted
waters.
