With Catalyst you register your actions and address them directly. For
example:
- sub hello : Global {
+ sub hello : Local {
my ( $self, $context ) = @_;
$context->response->body('Hello World!');
}
Now http://localhost:3000/hello prints "Hello World!".
Note that actions with the C< :Local > attribute are equivalent to
-using a C<:Path('/action_name') > attribute (note the leading slash).
-So our action could be equivalently:
+using a C<:Path('action_name') > attribute, so our action could be
+equivalently:
- sub hello : Path('/hello') {
+ sub hi : Path('hello') {
my ( $self, $context ) = @_;
$context->response->body('Hello World!');
}

-Installation of Catalyst can be a time-consuming and frustrating
-effort, due to its large number of dependencies. The easiest way
-to get up and running is to use Matt Trout's C<cat-install>
-script, from L<http://www.shadowcatsystems.co.uk/static/cat-install>,
-and then install L<Catalyst::Devel>.
+Installation of Catalyst can be a time-consuming effort, due to its
