1. make everything less fugly so people can sanely use it (ie, without tearing their eyes out of their sockets)

2. Moosify Helper.pm and co.

3. modification of existing code, ie:

   script/myapp_auth.pl --update dsn=dbi:Pg:dbname=hlagh

   , etc.

4. create with a given set of modules, ie:

   script/myappcreate.pl local::lib AppName, script/myappcreate.pl MySet::Of::Modules

5. Reaction-esque skinning, with a helper. Also, canned skins for download.

6. TT generation like TTSite with less suck

7. "support any sad fool who tried to CPAN something using the old API"

8. Support both application and component generation helpers

Wishlist:

• beat up MooseX::GetOpt add GetOpt::Long functionality

• Hack Makefile.PL of Catalyst dev so that if file::sharedir is installed then it deletes the dist-dir as you do make install

• disallow invalid catalyst project names

• create a default end ActionClass per application

• --minimal option to create bare minimum Catalyst app code (example, for inline test applications)

I've got a good deal of work to do on Catalyst::Helpers, so here's a bit of a list on what's coming in the future:

• beat up MooseX::GetOpt add GetOpt::Long functionality

• Trivially moosify Helper.pm and co.

• Hack Makefile.PL of Catalyst dev so that if file::sharedir is installed then it deletes the dist-dir as you do make install

• disallow invalid catalyst project names

• modification of existing code, ie:

  script/myapp_auth.pl --update dsn=dbi:Pg:dbname=hlagh

  , etc.

• TT generation like TTSite with less suck

• Reaction-esque skinning, with a helper. Also, canned skins for download.

• create a default end ActionClass per application

• --minimal option to create bare minimum Catalyst app code (example, for inline test applications)

• make everything less fugly so people can sanely use it (ie, without tearing their eyes out of their sockets)

• create with a given set of modules, ie:

  script/myappcreate.pl local::lib AppName, script/myappcreate.pl MySet::Of::Modules

• "support any sad fool who tried to CPAN something using the old API"

Stay tuned, this list is growing.

I'm working on a "pass through login" type Role for Catalyst (I think that's what I should call it).

The idea looks like this:

package TestApp::Controller::Root;
use Moose;
use namespace::autoclean;
BEGIN { extends 'Catalyst::Controller'; }
with 'CatalystX::RedirectAfterLogin';

sub login : Local {
    my ($self, $c) = @_;
    if ( $c->req->param('username') eq 'blah' ) {
        $c->next_page('success');
    } else {
        $c->res->body('Failed!');
        $c->detach;
    }
}


sub success : Path {
    my ($self, $c) = @_;
    $c->res->body("Success!");

}

This isn't quite working yet. I'm getting some errors with Moose that I can't figure out. Feel free to poke: CatalystX::RedirectAfterLogin
