Small usability improvement today, we've just added $c->controller, $c->model and $c->view as shortcuts for $c->component. Examples: $c->model('DBIC::FooTable')->find(1); $c->model('Xapian')->search(...); $c->forward( $c->view('TT') ); [% FOR result = c.model('DBIC::BarTable')->search(...) %] -- sebastian
