[Catalyst] accessing action methods in a TT view

[Thomas Hartman]

meaning of FRY?

> Quite often I create non action methods in my controllers to centralize functions that don't need to be an action.  Stuff like building up a HTML::Widget form, etc.  Usually in the controller I call it with $self->local_method(...) and so forth.
>
> Now in the TT view you have the stash and the context but I find no easy way to access the $self->xxx stuff. I know it can be considered bad form to have too much interaction between your template and your logic, but I do have uses for this.  Usually I just do something like $c->stash->{self} = \$self;  whereever I need it but this get's awefully redundant and makes my FRY ruby friends snicker at me.
