I like Squatting quite a bit John. It seems about as nice as my favorite CGI::Prototype. I have some comments to make about the docs here.

controller did model things

In the SYNOPSIS where you show a basic app, we see the following in the controller:

 # STEP 2 => Create a Controllers package
  {
    package App::Controllers;
    use Squatting ':controllers';

    # Setup a list of controller objects in @C using the C() function.
    our @C = (
      C(
        Home => [ '/' ],
        get  => sub {
          my ($self) = @_;
          my $v = $self->v;
          $v->{title}   = 'A Simple Squatting Application';
          $v->{message} = 'Hello, World!';
          $self->render('home');
        },
        post => sub { }
      ),
    );
  }

But I dont think $v->{title} or $v->{message} are view. They should have been pulled from the model by the view. And they certainly dont belong in the controller, whose only job is to pick a particular model and view and let them do the work.

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
