[Catalyst] Scheduler Plugin localizing

[Bill Moseley]

The scheduler plugin does this before calling the scheduled task:

    # do not allow the event to modify the response
    local $c->res->{body};
    local $c->res->{cookies};
    local $c->res->{headers};
    local $c->res->{location};
    local $c->res->{status};

Which sets those to undef.  So if the cron task does something in
catalyst things blow up.

[Tue May  2 19:30:02 2006] [catalyst] [error] Scheduler: Error executing remind: Caught exception in WS2::C::Cron->reminders "Can't call method "content_type" on an undefined value at /home/moseley/local/share/perl/5.8.4/Catalyst/Response.pm line 12."


I'm currently using:

    local $c->res->{$_} = $c->res->{$_}
        for qw/ body cookies headers location status/;

But that doesn't really protect headers and cookies.

Is there a better way to protect the catalyst environment from the
scheduled task changing things?

Assuming there's not reason a cron task would want to alter the
current request, Would this work for headers?

     my $headers = $c->res->{headers};
     $c->res->{headers} = $headers->clone;

     [ call scheduled task ]

     $c->res->{headers} = $headers;

What about cookies?
