Which contains the class-level defaults.
Not application defaults.
You should never, ever EVER access $self->config in a model, view or
controller object.
Your config value will be in $self->{key}.
It's considered normal to do
package My::Controller::Foo;
use strict;
use warnings;
use parent qw(Catalyst::Controller);
__PACKAGE__->mk_accessors(qw(foo bar));
__PACKAGE__->config(
foo => 'default_for_foo',
bae => { default => 'for_bar' },
);
then later in your code just call $self->foo to get the runtime value.
