65 | =head1 DESCRIPTION |
66 | |
fc7ec1d9 |
67 | The key concept of Catalyst is DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself). |
68 | |
69 | See L<Catalyst::Manual> for more documentation. |
70 | |
23f9d934 |
71 | Catalyst plugins can be loaded by naming them as arguments to the "use Catalyst" statement. |
1985c30b |
72 | Omit the C<Catalyst::Plugin::> prefix from the plugin name, |
23f9d934 |
73 | so C<Catalyst::Plugin::My::Module> becomes C<My::Module>. |
fc7ec1d9 |
74 | |
75 | use Catalyst 'My::Module'; |
76 | |
23f9d934 |
77 | Special flags like -Debug and -Engine can also be specifed as arguments when |
78 | Catalyst is loaded: |
fc7ec1d9 |
79 | |
80 | use Catalyst qw/-Debug My::Module/; |
81 | |
23f9d934 |
82 | The position of plugins and flags in the chain is important, because they are |
83 | loaded in exactly the order that they appear. |
fc7ec1d9 |
84 | |
23f9d934 |
85 | The following flags are supported: |
86 | |
87 | =over 4 |
88 | |
89 | =item -Debug |
90 | |
91 | enables debug output, i.e.: |
fc7ec1d9 |
92 | |
93 | use Catalyst '-Debug'; |
94 | |
23f9d934 |
95 | this is equivalent to: |
fc7ec1d9 |
96 | |
97 | use Catalyst; |
98 | sub debug { 1 } |
99 | |
23f9d934 |
100 | =item -Engine |
fc7ec1d9 |
101 | |
102 | Force Catalyst to use a specific engine. |
23f9d934 |
103 | Omit the C<Catalyst::Engine::> prefix of the engine name, i.e.: |
fc7ec1d9 |
104 | |
105 | use Catalyst '-Engine=CGI'; |

145 | |
146 | =item $c->engine |
147 | |
148 | Contains the engine class. |
fc7ec1d9 |
149 | |
0319a12c |
150 | =item $c->log |
151 | |
152 | Contains the logging object. Unless it is already set Catalyst sets this up with a |
153 | C<Catalyst::Log> object. To use your own log class: |
154 | |
155 | $c->log( MyLogger->new ); |
156 | $c->log->info("now logging with my own logger!"); |
157 | |
158 | Your log class should implement the methods described in the C<Catalyst::Log> |
159 | man page. |
160 | |
161 | =item $c->plugin( $name, $class, @args ) |
162 | |
163 | Instant plugins for Catalyst. |
164 | Classdata accessor/mutator will be created, class loaded and instantiated. |

200 | =head1 CASE SENSITIVITY |
201 | |
202 | By default Catalyst is not case sensitive, so C<MyApp::C::FOO::Bar> becomes |
203 | C</foo/bar>. |
204 | |
205 | But you can activate case sensitivity with a config parameter. |
206 | |
207 | MyApp->config->{case_sensitive} = 1; |
