[Catalyst] Loading CRUD for all tables

[Michael Reece]

That is an interesting approach.  I have some questions:

Does this mean the table actions are not available on the first request,
since they won't get set up until there is a request for the default action?

I find that to run more than one Catalyst application under mod_perl, I have
to __PACKAGE__->actions( {} ); before setting up my actions, or else they
get their actions confused and things start failing.  In that scenario, if
it also requires a request for the default action to set up the other
actions, wouldn't it get into a situation where the table actions are never
available?

And, in Cat5, where the actions are subroutines instead of defined via
__PACKAGE__->action, would something like this even be possible?

And, from what I've seen (on this list) of Cat5's actions, they can't be
defined dynamically ..
